Deep Dish Theatre Company

Specialties

The Deep Dish Theater Company is committed to the presentation of compelling, provocative, human-​centered dramatic work in an intimate setting. We develop that work through the collaboration of artists, striving always to create productions that cannot be contained within a single imagination. We celebrate the communal nature of creating and experiencing a theatrical work, and we are determined to include and reach out to the surrounding community in all its diversity.

History

Established in 2000.

Since its inception, the Deep Dish Theater Company has produced in Chapel Hill’s University Mall. Our presentations aim to challenge theatergoers, to explore issues and concerns of our community and the world-​at-​large, and to introduce new and rarely seen plays to our audience. Our current location in University Mall is evidence of our intention to reach across demographic borders to impact and educate the community as a whole; it does not indicate that our productions will be of a solely commercial nature, as our choices so far amply prove.

Shows produced include: Endgame, Lobby Hero, Polish Joke, Boy Gets Girl, Quilters, Permanent Collection, Orson’s Shadow, The Gratitude of Wasps (World Première), Jitney, Summer and Smoke.
