Mission Statement
The Communal Theater Company exists to create spaces of healing, connection, and communion through the art of theater. We present live productions that enrich culture, entertain with purpose, and inspire the communities we serve. At the same time, we are committed to cultivating the talents and skills of theatermakers through workshops, training, and collaborative practice, ensuring that our work not only tells stories but also nurtures the storytellers themselves.
Current Production
Sisterplay
SisterPlay is a candid and intimate examination of love, loss, and defiance. The play narrates the story of Lisa Ostler, who passed away in 2016 while detained at the Salt Lake County Jail. Utilizing memory, poetry, and protest, SisterPlay addresses a sister's overwhelming sorrow while restoring Lisa's humanity. Beyond being a personal tale, it is an activist piece that reveals the systems, culture, and indifference that played a role in Lisa's death.
