OUR HISTORY

The Space Between Theatre Company is built on a strong foundation of a shared dream for a new kind of theatre in St. George (Washington County, Utah).  In 2005, many lively conversations around a dining table eventually led to TSB’s Mission Statement:
“In the space between, we will create fearless theatre and explore the connections that make us human.”
From that dining table in 2005, The Space Between Theatre Company became a reality with the opening of its first production, Marvin’s Room, in March 2006. Encouraged by the warm reception of its first offering, TSB continued to broaden and develop its goals.

The Space Between is the parent entity, a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational and artistic corporation. The theatre company is the first undertaking, as an important means of meeting both artistic and educational goals.
TSB’s intention is to create dynamic programs that look beyond traditional theatre. Past, present and future projects include plays, staged readings, workshops, chamber theatre, film events, “Interface” events (partnering with other performing arts organizations), and a stage for the work of new playwrights, poets and film scriptwriters.

Strong response and support also comes from the outside community. Loyal supporters contribute to TSB in a variety of creative ways — providing venues and props, giving donations and taking tickets, painting scenery and stuffing envelopes. They also come as a sophisticated audience ready to share their opinions, creating a valuable and lively dialogue that helps to shape TSB’s future projects.
TSB invites members of the community to join us. There is a role for all who would like to participate, in front of the footlights, behind the scenes or as a lively member of the audience.

Founding members around the dining table: Douglas and Marisa Caputo, Varlo and Andrea Davenport, John and Judith Parkinson.
