Combustible Company

Theater That Ignites

Combustible Company looks for new ways to tell stories.  As artists our quest has been to simultaneously break both the story and the mode of storytelling apart so that it can coalesce into something new for our audience: a shared experience with mythological resonance.  In our work we explore the voice as a gesture of totally embodied emotion with the power to transform words. We seek to make words live as action, emotion and metaphor – sparking imagination and inviting connection.  

Help Us Celebrate 10 Years!

With your support, we'll find new ways to tell stories for 10 more years - in ways that are intellectual, emotional and physical. Actors and audiences will share the experience and a destiny. Join our mission of bringing the creativity of the human body and the story of the human experience to the stage.
