“By the time you reach the end, you may feel exhilarated or subdued, or like you’re coming off a peyote high.”
Mandate
Secret Theatre creates new ways of being together while shedding light on how it is we've grown apart.
History
Established in 2003 as a vehicle for the interdisciplinary projects of Halifax-based actor/writer/tinkerer Dustin Harvey, Secret Theatre has grown to encompass a myriad of people and places come, gone and soon to be. Each production is about creating meaningful, shared experiences that are thoughtful, intimate, and temporary.
