Now in our 30th Anniversary season as Delaware's "Off Broadway", City Theater Company has been producing the kind of theater we want the world to experience.  From re-envisioning classic musicals like "Gypsy" and "Company"; to staging intimate interpretations of newer shows like "Passing Strange," "Once," and "Art"; to developing original works of regional playwrights and presenting World Premieres like "After Birth of a Nation" and "Blues in My Soul"; and engaging the community via our Fearless Improv team and the annual Tax Free Comedy Festival — CTC's aim has always been to innovate and challenge orthodox ideas of what theatre is and what it can be.

We're thrilled to continue into our third year of partnership as Theater-in-Residence at The Delaware Contemporary, just off the waterfront in Wilmington. We've worked with the TDC staff to transform their former auditorium into the Wings Black Box, which is available for use by all the arts & culture community!

The "melding" of contemporary art and contemporary theatre was a no-brainer for us. We look forward to expanding the idea of what "art" means and where it can go when two like-minded organizations come together to collaborate and create!

Come visit us in our new home; support City Theater Company and help shape the notion of what art is, and what it can be for our community!

About City Theater Company

Mission: The mission of City Theater Company is to create a body of work for the stage that is consistently high-quality, provocative and new; a body of work that takes risks and breaks barriers in order to engage new theater audiences in an exciting exchange of ideas, images and energies.

City Theater Company is committed to ridding the planet of complacency, redundancy, indifference and fear — therefore clearing the way for fun, electricity, cool art, and some major chutzpah. We seek out what makes us most afraid and then attack it with an odd, supernatural fury. We breathe in and out in time with our audience, and the resulting electrical charge produces theatrical shock waves that demand attention. The folks here believe that theater should be filled with big energy, big ideas, big fun, and other big stuff we haven’t even thought of yet.
