HOUSES ON THE MOON THEATER COMPANY was founded in 2001 with a mission to dispel ignorance and isolation through the theatrical amplification of unheard voices. Through original performances, post-show discussions, and issue-based interactive creative workshops, we help communities come together and make meaningful connections through the public sharing of their untold stories.At the core of our developmental process are interviews with real people about their lives, and a creative search for those human stories that yearn for a much wider hearing. All Houses projects are created through an extensive developmental and research process in collaboration with its community partners, which have included Amnesty International, the AFSC Immigrant Rights Program, Human Rights First and many others.
