The newest theatre company in Huntington was created in 2018, rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the group known as ARTS.
When ARTS folded, several of the actors and directors involved banded together with other like-minded individuals and created a new company - the Alchemy Theatre Troupe.
Established as a non-profit performing arts group, they are dedicated to forging powerful connections between artists and audiences through theater enriching our communities.
In their initial statement they announced their intention to provide educational outreach as well as collaborative opportunities between artists of different genres and the theater. They aspire to produce quality theater to delight and transform audiences.
Alchemy already has produced several excellent productions, including Picasso at the Lapin Agile, Dark of the Moon, and the musical Follies, which was presented on stage just before the COVID-19 outbreak shut down local theatre.
The group also is a prime mover in the WV Shakes festival - one of the group’s first performances was A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
The future is bright for the newest company in town!
