Founded in 2016 after years of guest-facilitating interested new 学生s in Columbus on trips home and after 15+ years of professional performance careers in Chicago, the still relatively-young co-founders moved to Columbus to establish the theatre at the behest of the community at large who asked them to guide an educational space and stage with Chicago prowess and Columbus heart. As their personal careers still flourish the co-founders now happily nourish the incredible blooming community making magic by their own right.
