Why Open Book?

why open book

How do you get to know someone?  Through their stories.  How do you let someone get to know you?  By telling your stories.

For as long as there have been people, people have been telling stories.  Whether around a campfire, on a stage, on the page, or over a cup of coffee, stories are how we connect to each other.  Theatre is a way for us to connect with each other through stories.  You might recognize yourself or someone you know in a character on the stage.  You might think “huh, I never thought of it that way before.”

What moves you more?  Facts and figures or a story of human struggle or triumph?  Open Book Theatre is for everyone who is moved by stories.  We hope that you will come to the theatre to laugh and cry.  We hope you come away with insights and questions.  We believe we are telling stories that are important and relevant to your life.

Our Official Mission Statement: 

To promote connection through theatrical storytelling.
