Staging the Stories Around Us

Welcome to Sanctuary Stage, a community outreach program and nonprofit theatre company. Our projects focus on creating original plays through Devised, Applied and Community Engaged Playmaking methodologies. We strive to promote diversity, social justice and awareness with and among marginalized communities.

We have moved from Oregon and are now based in Stephenville, Texas. We are looking forward in continuing our work within the Lone Star State.

Leg Up
Leg Up is an immersive socially engaged creative project that tells the compelling story of the disenfranchised Hispanic community within the American Quarter Horse Racing industry where Hispanic workers have been historically significant in various aspects including as jockeys, trainers, grooms, and other essential roles. This project will focus on the Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico region.

This project is produced in collaboration with community liaison Willie Garcia of Tyke Racing, owner of the famed race horse
DARK ENME.
Stay tuned for upcoming story-circle and interview opportunities.

Forelock

In an industry dominated by men, Forelock will examine the experiences of women whose lives revolve around professional rodeo, horse racing, and cattle ranching in Central Texas. This project will explore the history and current challenges faced by these equine and bovine professionals.

Stay tuned for upcoming story-circle and interview opportunities. If you are interested in participating, please contact us at your convieience.
We are excited to be featured in a newly released book entitled Artists Activating Sustainability, The Oregon Story by Barbara Sellers-Young PhD. Within the publication, Dr. Sellers-Young has featured our work with communities and covers our productions of Un Carol de Independence, Peace Be Upon You and Tango Mike.

We want to thank Dr. Sellers-Young for her generous coverage.
