Manifesto
Tattered Remnants, Inc. is committed to creating, sustaining, and nurturing live theatre in South Florida. We believe theater is a collective art between the artists and the audience, and, as such, we are always seeking ways to reach out and bring theater to underserved populations. In the evolving reality of today’s theatre, we are continually searching for new and inspiring artists to partner with and foster. While our specific focus is on work that examines the social contract, we seek to be a theatrical hub, providing and sharing our resources to build a community of communities
The Blueprint
Tattered Remnants, Inc. exists because there also exists an America where public support for arts and culture is eroding, material costs are rising, and resources are increasingly concentrated among a handful of large organizations. We believe the future of theatre will not be built by reproducing the systems that got us here, but by digging deeper and returning to the roots of civilization itself.
Civilization wasn’t built by kings and conquerors. It was built by ordinary people gathering to bake bread, brew beer, and tell each other stories. It is our core belief that the power of beer, bread, and stories to bring people into a room together is the power that creates, shapes, and defines what comes next.
Tattered Remnants is guided by a core conviction from the Natya Shastra: that good theatre does three things at once. It entertains the drunk, it asks the big questions, and it reminds us what it means to be human.
We’re not interested in art that only manages one of the three.
Tattered Remnants produces theatrical releases that champion new work, revisit the dramatic canon, and examine and challenge the practice of theatremaking. We’re here to build a catalog that lives at the intersection of literature, indie rock, and mutual aid.
We’re not here to behave.
Frequency Response
Compensation
Paying theatre professionals fairly is how you attract and keep the talent that makes a city’s cultural scene competitive with anywhere else in the world. Tattered Remnants, Inc. commits to allocating a minimum of 50 percent of earned and contributed revenue to the artists and administrators who make the work happen.
All Ages Shows
Radical inclusivity is not passive peace; it is an active defense of human dignity. We welcome the weird, the wild, the displaced, and the diverse. Fascism, bigotry, and dehumanization will not find a platform, a debate, or polite neutrality here. They will find resistance.
House Rules
Everyone working with Tattered Remnants should know what is expected of them and what they can expect from us. Our code of conduct applies in rehearsals, performances, meetings, and events, and it should be clear enough that nobody has to guess where the lines are. No mystery rules, no moving goalposts, no pretending nothing happened because the show has to go on.
