Do you believe in the power
of theater? We do!
We are Scapegoat Theatre Collective and we believe that theatre can touch people's lives, encourage political discussion and motivate social change.

| Scapegoat Theater Collective
was formed by a group of individuals whose lives have all been touched
by the power of theatre. We saw an opportunity in Asheville to create
accessible, relevant theatre that will touch new and diverse audiences.
In the wake of our successful production of The Vagina Monologues
that raised $5,000 for local domestic violence agencies and the
excitement of the fun, campy production of Psycho Beach Party
we decided that it was time to formalize our production team. |
 Why
Scapegoat? To us, the name represents a commentary on our generation’s
refusal to be personally accountable for their actions and society’s
wellbeing. We are accepting the responsibility of creating a community
of hope, justice and creativity. We have been called action and
we are prepared to be held accountable. |
| Scapegoat
Theater Collective is committed to creating transformative
theater in a community based model. We strive to bring a new expression
of theatre to Western North Carolina.. Scapegoat is determined to
be accessible to non-traditional audiences and to benefit our community.
Part of our mission is to raise money and awareness for nonprofits
in the Asheville community. Planned shows will benefit Western
North Carolina Aids Project, OurVoice
and other community organizations. |
| We are proud to
have been a part of the inaugural year of the Stoneleaf
Theatre Festival which brought theatre companies and fans from
across the state to Asheville. At StoneLeaf we presented several
sold out performances of Edward Albee’s Everything in
the Garden. This dark comedy explores the underside of the
American Dream and provided a challenging and rewarding vehicle
for Scapegoat and our partners. |
