Houses on the Moon Theater Company was founded in 2001 with the mission of amplifying unheard voices and the vision of dispelling ignorance and isolation to create a safe and equitable space for all humans, regardless of their race, culture, religion, gender, sexuality, or immigration status. Houses on the Moon is a home for unheard stories. Our projects begin with relationship building, collaboration, and partnership with grassroots community organizations to identify an urgent social need; a vital untold story that must be heard. The stories we tell come from real people.  Our creation process includes extensive research, first-person storytelling workshops, and interviews, and our work is presented Off Broadway as well as in non-traditional spaces throughout New York City, the US, and internationally. Whether they are LGBTQ asylum seekers, undocumented youth, families impacted by gun violence or grappling with mass incarceration, Houses on the Moon collaborates with communities to amplify their untold stories, create awareness, offer support, and ultimately foster a more empathetic world.
