Founded in 1999, the Kaleidoscope Theatre Company is dedicated to producing "serious" comedy. We produce comedies of all types: romantic comedies, black comedies and farces - plays that seriously explore the comic perspective in the theatre.
While planning to include both classic comedies and more recent revivals, we primarily work to build strong relationships with contemporary playwrights that write smart, comedic plays with insight and great humor.At Kaleidoscope, we believe that theatre exercises our humanity, it stretches our compassion, it feeds our wit, and it refines and marinates our wisdom.
