"Hero is a theatre with deep roots in the parallel traditions...community based work and the classics." -- American Theatre Magazine
HERO Theatre presents classical plays and new plays inspired by the classics, re-imagining great works to tell stories that reflect the cultural richness of America today.
HERO believes that honoring an artist's origin and experiences makes for truthful, unique and memorable theater. We seek to use art to model and bring about social justice. Our mission is to build bridges between artists of different racial, ethnic, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds by way of the classics. Productions are planned for both Los Angeles and New York.
