ensemble actors theater is a professional resident theater company that serves as an incubator for student actors to develop their craft while working alongside Actors' Equity Association (AEA) members and seasoned professionals.

We believe live theater is a vital force in the life of a community—a mirror held up to reflect who we are, who we’ve been, and who we hope to become. Through visceral storytelling and shared experience, it sparks dialogue, nurtures empathy, and invites audiences to see the world through one another’s eyes. By honoring the diverse voices of our region, ensemble actors theater builds connection, fosters equity, and celebrates the rich cultural fabric of the communities we serve.

Sure, those might sound like lofty goals and big fancy words—but at the heart of it, storytelling has always been one of the most powerful ways to bring people together. Whether it’s a play that shines a light on hard truths ripped from the headlines, or one that has us laughing 'til our cheeks hurt, live theater connects us. It reminds us what it means to be human—together.
