“At WORDTheatre, it’s almost as if there’s a collaboration that’s going on between the actor and the writer and you see all these things that you wouldn’t necessarily even think were in your story and suddenly it opens up.”

Mesmerizing.
Evocative.

“In a world dominated by technology, WORDTheatre is my anchor to the power of the word in its essence–nothing can beat the timeless thrill of listening to great stories performed live by some of the great actors of our time. I say, Hallelujah!”

T. C. Boyle Author
Words have power.
To build bridges.
With laughter and tears.
