A Theatre Company for the Metaverse
Created during COVID-19, Pocket Theatre devotes itself to creating opportunities for new work and new artists - through incubators, professional development and networking in the Chicago area.
Hear our Artistic Director Explain Pocket
Virtual theatre is not about replacement, it is about expansion.
Our Mission
Art is inherently political. We strive to create accessible works that inspire social justice change in our communities and remove traditional elitist barriers in theatre.
How?
Performance
Using a central 360° camera, we can perform as if there is a single audience member. Our actors, designers, and directors only need to direct our attention to you. Theatre can go on and you can enjoy our productions with the best seat in the house.
Audience
The great news is you already have us with you - in your phone! All you need is the YouTube App on your phone and you can watch our productions however you want. Our shows are designed with the audience member having a cardboard VR headset (around 10 USD) so you can be immersed in our productions.
We are a 501(c)(3)
