Sheatre is a professional community-engaged arts organization based in Grey Bruce, Ontario. Working primarily in rural and small urban communities, we have 35 years of experience in creating and presenting interactive, issue-oriented and celebratory theatre and the arts.
We serve communities by facilitating the expression and exploration of issues and stories that people find vital, complex, and in need of a public awareness, response, and action. Our artists work with the community to identify those issues. Then together we originate interactive dramas, musical productions, multi-disciplinary workshops, projects and events. These convey important messages that inspire discussion and change.
“nothing short of brilliant “incredibly powerful” “necessary”.
Since 1985, Sheatre has produced and co-facilitated 117 plays and interactive forum theatre presentations to 174,000 people in live audiences in Canada, Europe, the U.S -- and worldwide online. Over 10,000 participants have engaged in our workshops.
Sheatre believes in the power of theatre and the arts to change lives and contribute to a healthy, compassionate society. We endeavour to entertain, create change and inspire learning through participation in the arts.
