By exploring the heightened language of poetry on the stage, we hope to celebrate our love of the spoken word and the triumphs of the human spirit. We are committed to developing a new canon of verse drama by nuturing and producing poet-dramatists as well as reviving important verse plays of the twentieth century.
Poetry is the language of mystics.
Our name expresses the hope that we may transcend through performance the mundane and trivial minutiae of daily living and arrive at the Poetic Genius that is our source. The transcendent event is that one glimmering moment when a person is forced out himself and briefly is connected with that which is larger than himself.
