SPEAKING OF HOME

PRODUCTIONS

a collective built on community, a group of friends, committed to joy and curiosity in our art.

We’ve known each other for over half of our lives, and have spent most of that time creating art together. Whether acting in classic plays or devising films that combine our separate passions, our projects spring from the simple joy we continue to find with each other. For us, rehearsal rooms and film sets are more than just places of production: they are spaces to be together, to share a common space and explore our life through our art. Drawing from our own stories, our relationship to each other, and ourselves, our devised works are experimental, joyful, and sincere.

We bring nothing but ourselves, and we look for the same in those who join our summer camps or our production company. Anyone who wants to bring their authentic self, and create art with others who do the same, belongs here.

Speaking of Home Onstage is a place where young artists are invited to bring their imaginations and their authentic selves to the stage.

Rooted in community and curiosity, we foster a space for joy, collaboration, and bold artistic exploration.

Whether just starting out in theatre or diving deeper into a love for performing, our program encourages students to tell stories that matter to them.

With the same fervor that brought our collective together we hope to create a space worth sharing: a home.
