Our Story
It is incredible to me to think about the fact that Outskirts Theatre Co. is finishing out its first season. What began as a simple idea as part of a class assignment has turned into something more amazing and rewarding than I could have ever imagined. In the spring of 2014 I took an 'Introduction to Fine Arts Administration' class. We were asked to develop a fictional arts organization and use it as the basis of many of our assignments. My passion for theatre and for making a difference in my community drove me to come up with Outskirts Theatre Co., a company that would strive to break boundaries, live on the edge, and open eyes. This first year has been such a success for us, and we could not have done it without the support of our many generous donors. As we prepare another exciting season of topical theatre, I ask that you consider helping us once again take this journey. (Ryan Albrechtson, Producing Artistic Director)
