Current Projects Inner Vision: Creating Performance at Missouri School for the Blind Ten Percent: Sexual Orientation and Homophobia in the Workplace |
About UsUnder the bold leadership of Joan Lipkin, that UPPITY theatre company has developed and brought some of the finest in contemporary performance to St. Louis. Theatre that pushes the edge of the envelope. Theatre with an edge. And a social conscience. One of our biggest projects right now is The DisAbility Project which is bringing the stories of actors with and without disabilities to audiences all across the region. We also developed Meet Me in St. Louie, Louie, an ensemble of local gay men who created original theatrical material about their lives. And we collaborated with the ACLU to create Democracy on Stage, a series of short pieces based on real life incidents dramatizing the need for the protection of civil rights. Some of our most memorable original productions have gone on to be produced all over the country, from New York to California, as well in Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, and Australia with productions scheduled for Italy and Asia. These include:
Our groundbreaking Alternate Currents/Direct Currents Series introduced locally such significant artists as Quentin Crisp, Sara Felder, Holly Hughes, Michael Kearns, Lisa Kotin, John McGivern, Tim Miller and Marcia Wilkie, to name a few. We've hosted numerous benefits for local organizations, keeping money circulating back into the community. We've acted as a liaison, providing contacts and up-to-the-minute information on the area's most pressing issues.
