Mission
Cutting Ball Theater experiments with theatrical form, beyond naturalism and conventionalism, to tell relevant stories that embolden and engage audiences.
Since 1999, we've been cultivating a community of artists and audiences whose engines run on risk, championing creative leaps as our core value. Our modular performance space in San Francisco is a laboratory for the unexpected.
We’re active citizens of our Tenderloin neighborhood and are especially committed to the enrichment of its youth.
History
Cutting Ball Theater was founded by Rob Melrose and Paige Rogers to serve the San Francisco Bay Area with exceptional experimental theater in intimate spaces.
For twenty years, Cutting Ball has been creating the unusual and the evocative, reimagining how narratives can be told, and producing plays for audiences with bold and curious tastes. American Theater Magazine has called Cutting Ball "synonymous with some of the best small theatre the Bay Area has to offer."
Cutting Ball presents an annual three-play season serving up re-envisioned classics, world premiere plays, and performances designed to reshape theatrical precedent.
