NEWS

“The more interesting [theatrical] international exchanges…seem to be emerging from the grassroots, from low-lying organizations like the Play Company or PS 122—or Electric Pear Productions…” – The Brooklyn Rail

We send our most sincere thanks to our patrons, board members, volunteers, and especially all of the artists that we have had the pleasure of working with over the past year. We would not be here without your encouragement and inspiration!

MISSION STATEMENT

Electric Pear Productions is a non-profit company that cultivates, backs and presents original and persuasive theatrical endeavors.

The company is committed to exploring the junction between disparate entities; Electric Pear seeks to deepen the performance landscape by working at the crossroads where the mainstream meets the avant-garde, where artistic disciplines cross-pollinate, and where translation and border-crossing is embraced.

Electric Pear seeks to create a welcoming, vibrant community of artists and enthusiasts where respect and generosity are paramount, where creation and vision are honored.

Electric Pear: At home on the stage, at play in the world.
