Level Nine
See theater that’s brave, immediate and deeply engaging
On Level Nine, we offer a curated lineup of groundbreaking theater companies and emerging artists who create new work and challenge traditional notions of theater. They may start with no script or invite the audience to participate. It’s intimate. Spontaneous. You never know who or what you may discover.
