Theatre is a tough industry to be a part of and The Drama Factory considers itself a partner in making this difficult pursuit a little easier. We encourage artistic risks and cater to both niche and mainstream tastes.

Our goal is a satisfied audience, achieved by building trust and personal connections. We host a wide variety of shows, including drama, comedy, anti-theatre, stand-up, cabaret, burlesque, talks, workshops, live music, readings, and poetry.
