MORE ABOUT EMBRACE THEATRE: Mission and Mandate — Awards 

On different projects, Embrace Theatre works with a diverse range of artists to create unique works. The structure and composition of each show’s team will be determined by its unique needs. Embrace Theatre works on an ensemble model; essentially, a new company is formed for each project. This means that each group of artists organizes itself to best be able to carry out the work of that project. Though each ensemble is distinct, all Embrace Theatre Ensembles are based on the same values.

A team of volunteers provides artistic visioning as well as artistic and production support to the Embrace Theatre Ensembles:
