Crossways 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.
