Who We Are

The Double Edge Ensemble has joined Founder, Vision Strategist, and Designer Stacy Klein in assuming responsibility for the art making, vision and survival needs of the theatre, as well as having a role in Board membership. Together, the Ensemble, that hails from Argentina, Bulgaria, England and the United States lead the Art, Living Culture, and Art Justice initiative of the theatre.

The growth of Double Edge, since its founding as a small ensemble of women, has led to the creation of a permanent Company/Staff working with the Ensemble — including production, design, food systems, farming, administration, and resident artists / musicians / designers. DE also works with long-term artistic collaborators in areas of theatre design, carpentry, music, dramaturgy, performing, culture, and artists-in-residence.

Our cultural endeavors have also been the life work for many of us. With tenures ranging from 10 to 44 years, we have been advancing equity, justice, and the artistic vitality of our rural region.
