Akadēmeia Theatre

Our nascent collaboration, Akadēmeia Theatre, is named after and draws inspiration from Plato’s famous school of philosophy in ancient Greece. This company is dedicated to combining formal and informal education through theatre.

We embrace diverse viewpoints and philosophies and believe that theatre is a format that allows direct connection through live interaction and therefore wonderful opportunities for pre- and post-show discussions about important artistic, cultural, and social themes and issues.

Premeire

Akadēmeia Theatre’s premiere production Miss Nowhere Diner, written by Kathleen Potts, was the winner of the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival’s Lorraine Hansberry Award, and published by The Dramatic Publishing Company. Directed by Lydia Fort, this humorous yet serious play explores such universals as poverty, addiction, relationships, faith, promises, the love of truth and the truth of love.
