What is Community Supported Theatre (CST)?
Community Supported Theatre (CST) is an innovative new way of connecting theatremakers and theatregoers. The idea comes from the world of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), where a small community of members literally provides seed money for a local farm in exchange for their share of a season's worth of harvested produce. In Stolen Chair's CST, a community of members will invest "seed" money in the company's ensemble-driven theatrical process and then reap their share of a season’s worth of creative "harvests."
