Twenty-Something Theatre

Twenty-Something Theatre is an independent theatre company in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, led by Artistic Director Sabrina Evertt.

The company’s mandate is as follows: “We are committed to providing Vancouver’s next generation of theatre artists with opportunities to pursue their craft and we strive to enhance Vancouver’s theatre community with productions that entertain and evoke the lives of today’s young people.” ^[1]

Along with acclaimed productions of works by well-known playwrights, Twenty-Something Theatre holds an annual Spotlight production series that showcases one emerging Vancouver-area artist (rotating between actor, director, and playwright), and provides them with an opportunity to gain exposure. In 2010, the company developed and staged a workshop production of its first original play: Prodigals by Sean Minogue.

Theatre critic Colin Thomas wrote that "Twenty-Something Theatre performs an important function in Vancouver’s cultural ecology". ^[2]
