Prism Theatre Company

Prism Theatre Company started from a partnership turned friendship between Trish and Joy. After working together on several projects, they found themselves eating sushi and talking about what they could bring to the St. Louis theatre community. They began collaborating with other local artists to discuss what opportunities a new theatre company could provide. Many agreed that substantial opportunities for women and emerging artists, both onstage and off, were scarce. And thus, at a Starbucks in Webster Groves, Prism Theatre Company was born.

As they began their work of creating this company, they suddenly found themselves thrown into the middle of a worldwide pandemic, and realized that the artform they knew and loved would never quite look the same. Therefore, they had to reimagine theatre for a new world.

Our goal is to work with like-minded, kind, collaborative artists who share this mission. We strive to provide an atmosphere of inclusivity, where artists from all walks of life can come together to tell important stories, both new and familiar, that explore our common humanity.
