Our Mission:

 

To achieve the literal translation of our name – ACME – highest point or stage. ACME Theatre Co. explores issues of social, moral and political significance – creating "theatre of the mind & for the soul " through our fearless exploration of 'text' and uncompromising artistic vision.

 

 

ACME Theatre Co. achieves this mission through the pursuit of the following objectives:

 

 

To expand the traditional definition of theatrical production through the use of established theatrical practices, visual dramaturgy and new technologies to explore rarely produced texts.

 

​

To create new interpretations of works from the established international dramatic repertoire as well as original Canadian works.

 

​

To foster the development of Canadian theatre artists by providing them with opportunities to participate in the collaborative creation of our art.

 

​

To provide educational opportunities for theatre practitioners in the early stages of their development.

 

​

To continue to nurture our relationship with our audience in Toronto as well as seek out a broader national and international audience through co-productions and touring.
