Founded in 2001 by Emily Davis, Agathe David-Weill and Shannon Harvey (friends from Sarah Lawrence College,) Messenger Theatre Company was established in order to create vivid and vital theatre with a focus on clear storytelling and evocative images.

Messenger Theater Co. is dedicated to the art of simple storytelling through collaboration. We strive to integrate actor based performances with masks, puppetry, movement, live music and visual arts. We create bold and innovative original works inspired by venerable sources such as myth and classical stories. Our interest lies in bringing these tales to life with magic, wit and beauty.
