Cornerstone Theater Company has been collaborating with communities for over 38 years. Our work reflects complexity, disrupts assumptions, welcomes difference, and amplifies joy, aiming to advance a more compassionate, equitable, and just world. Cornerstone’s methodology is an instrument for motivating change, cultivating connections and prompting new ways of thinking. Our model of community engagement, which gathers real stories from people to create and perform plays inspired by those stories, is flexible, scalable and nimble enough to adapt to specific contexts, needs and goals. By combining the artistry of people with many levels of theatrical experience, we act upon the conviction that artistic expression is civic engagement and that access to a creative forum is essential to the wellness and health of every individual and community.
