Overview

Mission

Fault line theatre creates and produces socially relevant, character-driven plays for today's audiences. By employing the best members of our artistic community, fault line theatre strives both to challenge veteran theatergoers and welcome those new to the art form.

What it reported doing in 2025

Main stage production - world premiere co-production of the beautiful land i seek (la linda tierra que busco yo) by matt barbot 4 week run, 26 performances at the pregones/puerto rican travelling theater. Co-production with pregones/puerto rican traveling theater, latinx playwright circle, and faule line theatre synopsis: it's 1950. Oscar and gris hurtle towards Washington, dc on a mission: strike in the name of puerto rican independence. When their trip goes off the rails, the two men confront familiar faces from the past, new questions about the future, and a tough decision to stay the course or get off the train. If only the other passengers would stop interrupting! Loosely based on historical events and definitely based on recent ones, the beautiful land i seek (la linda tierra que busco yo) is a funny, gripping rollercoaster ride through puerto rico's relationship to the united states.
