Fallen Angel Theatre Company, Inc.

(Mission)

 

Fallen Angel Theatre is a non-profit company based in New York committed to presenting the most outstanding & dynamic new Irish & British plays written by and about women.  This wealth of new female writing has largely been untapped in the US.  Founded in 2003, Fallen Angel Theatre is the first American company with the goal of interpreting these plays in a fresh, exciting and commercially viable way for New York audiences.

Fallen Angel Theatre has a goal to create a new and diverse audience base that transcends cultural barriers thanks to the quality and universal themes in the writing we present.

 

Fallen Angel Theatre has strong ties to the community and has an outreach program working with area non‑profits, organisations & individuals, with the goal of expanding education and knowledge about their work in the community.  Our work with these non-profits takes different forms.  We facilitate a two-way collaboration with the organizations in the development stages of our project which benefits both the organization's members and our company members during the Production process.  We also support organizations by contributing a percentage of our box office takings towards their causes.

Statement of Purpose
by Aedin Moloney
(Founder and Artistic Director)

 My purpose in starting this theatre company is as follows:

I have worked for 26 years in theatre, both in England, Ireland and North America.  During these past years I have been blessed to be an active part of a constantly evolving art form, steeped in three very different cultures.

 
For me the heartbeat of theatre is the writer.  When a new playwright creates a piece of art, he or she is doing more than presenting a piece of himself or herself.  They are representing their country, its culture, its ever-changing history, and what that country has evolved into today. 
 
There is a vibrant and exciting surge of insightful and soulful female writing  which has largely been untapped here in NY, depriving us not only of important works, but also of an opportunity to get to know contemporary Ireland and Britain.  

The goal of Fallen Angel Theatre is to contribute to NY's next phase of its evolution and cultural growth with the introduction of fresh and daring new  works by and about Women  which will not only educate and entertain, but most importantly,  inspire.
