In the fall of 2005, a group of theatre artists founded Promethean Theatre Ensemble with the goal of creating productions that would emphasize rich, vivid language and imaginative storytelling. Over the following years, PTE has evolved into a committed ensemble of artists who collaborate to tell resonant, timeless stories through fresh perspectives in a style that prompts audiences to imagine the world of the play alongside its creators.
