FTC / MISSION
We create powerful, unique works that are deeply personal, radical, and authentic to our time and craft.
​
We eschew tradition by tearing down the rigid conventions of theatre-making; replacing fear, pride and envy with friendship, family and love.
​
We promote the values of theatre through community engagement, accessible performances, and narratives that meaningfully engage oppressed identities.
​
Fractal Theatre Collective produces completely new works and ideas, cultivated from both within the company and with outside sources we deem in need of a theatrical platform.
FTC / BEHIND THE NAME
Fractal is a word used to describe seemingly random, but beautiful, phenomena in nature such as crystal growth and galaxy formation. Similarly, Fractal Theatre Collective's mission is to bring together artists of all backgrounds to create poignant, questioning, and groundbreaking theatre art, and do so in wholly unexpected ways.
FTC / OUR STORY
Fractal TC was founded by a group of American University theatre students in 2017. These students found common artistic ground through working on classic theatre and modern interpretations thereof. All had a passion for radical, accessible, subversive theatre.
​
In 2017 the three founders, Andrew Watring, Rebecca Lamis, and Elizabeth Morton were first brought together professionally through the Capital Fringe production, Passing - A Stage Play. Out of the experience of producing a new work together, the idea for Fractal was born.
​
The three seek to pioneer an organization that offers an unprecedented level of artistic opportunity for emerging artists in the DC area.
