Our mission...
The Promethean Theatre (TPT) is a professional non-profit regional theatre company that seeks daring
and creative approaches to classical pieces as well as contemporary and new works that engage the
imagination and inspire passionate discourse among its artists and the audience.
The Promethean Theatre is the professional theatre company in residence at
Nova Southeastern University, Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences.
Our 2006/2007 season...
TPT ushers in an exciting 3rd season with their new partnership as the professional theatre
company in residence at Nova Southeastern University, Farquar College of Arts & Sciences.
We begin with Lee Blessing's timely drama TWO ROOMS, which illuminates both the numbing agony of
one man taken hostage by political terrorists and the helpless fury of those who are left behind.
In the spring TPT’s resident playwright Juan C. Sanchez is back with the World Premiere of the dark and
twisted drama, RED TIDE. And rounding out our season is the classic tale of love and mistaken identity,
CYRANO DE BERGERAC by Edmond Rostand
