In 2008, a group of seasoned actresses and directors began to meet on and off to read scripts, share experiences and dream of making opportunities to make work that mattered to us. From those get-togethers came the idea of On The Verge, an informal alliance of like-minded theatre artists, intent on exploring challenging work and creating untraditional experiences both for theatre aficionados and for those who would rather be mugged than attend a play.
We hope to
engage the community in theatre in new and vital ways by creating
performance events both in and outside the traditional confines of an auditorium
create a strong women’s presence in theatre in Lexington
make theatre that nourishes both audience and participants
kindle awareness of the contributions women have made to theatre, dramatic literature and society
mentor emerging female theatre practitioners
hone our craft and expand our artistic horizons by sharing, doing and learning
enjoy almost every minute of it
