Theatre of the New Heart is an Edmonton based company with an unusual edge. New Heart’s vision is to divide resources between an international facilitated lab for professional artists, Albertan co-productions and workshops.

The creative process drives New Heart above all else. The company gives time and opportunity for artists to take risks, to create through play and to dialogue with other critical thinkers. The Theatre of the New Heart season always include: the Interrarium intensive with The Banff Centre and Springboard Performance, professional workshops and presentation of new original works in partnership. In 2012-13 New Heart produced “New Words, New Hearts, a reading series” and Interrarium. New Heart partnered with Theatre Yes to presentThe List and Maggie Tree to present Age of Arousal.
