ROUST THEATRE COMPANY, INC. is a performing arts company based out of New York City, United States.Roust is dedicated to radical and epoch making theatre. We consistently aim to challenge and inspire an audience. We firmly believe that theatre is a lot more than just entertainment, theatre can and does make a difference in the world.Theatre provides so much more than an opportunity for escapism - it allows us to connect with the communities around us, to open us to experiences and people we may never encounter, to question our perceived knowledge and preconceptions, and in doing so theatre brings us closer together. We want to educate and inform both new and seasoned audiences and to hold this audience in the grip of unrelenting and imaginative theatre which forces them to sit up and question the world around them, theatre that touches their conscience.Community doesn't happen simply out of proximity, but evolves through shared experience. Audience members' shared experiences can hopefully energize them to recognize a larger community beyond their own doorstep and to expand their humanity in an environment that is becoming more and more self absorbed. We think this holds true for both new and seasoned audiences - if we can galvanize their ideas, hopefully social change can happen.We believe that it is the duty of theatre to break the grip of mass media, which dilutes the community consciousness.
