ABOUT PKTC
Powder Keg is more than just a theatre company - it is a space for Explorative, Evocative, and altogether Explosive Art founded under three guiding principles: Better Practices, Better Pay (Any Pay at All), and Better Stories.
​
We are committed to exploring how to foster a safe space for all artists to collaborate, led - first and foremost - by risk and curiosity.
​
Our mission is to create Bold and Explosive Art, igniting the imagination and collaboration of artists and audiences and inciting reflection on the complexities of contemporary life. We offer well-crafted and eruptive performances representing a range of voices, viewpoints, and styles.
Meet Our Team
Powder Keg Theatre Company was founded by a group of like-minded theatre artists (many of whom grew up together right here in Delaware!) and was born of a years-long dream to create a theatrical space in this area for the bold, evocative theatre that excites us, and excites audiences!
​
Our founding members have a long history of working together, and bring years of collective experience and training to the team. We are actors, directors, designers, stage managers, theatre educators and more, and have a wealth of experience in community, academic, and professional spaces.
