Mission Statement
The Cutting Ball's mission is to develop productions of experimental new plays and re-visioned classics with an emphasis on language and images.
The Cutting Ball's vision is to produce plays that reveal a poetic truth as opposed to a naturalistic or realistic one. We are committed to finding performance strategies that best releases the poetry of the plays we produce.
Description
