OUR MISSION.
SHOUT ALONE THEATER COMPANY is a New York-based theater company dedicated to producing exciting, raw, and fresh new work that gives voice to those underrepresented in the modern artistic community. Founded in January 2015 by Co-Artistic Directors and Texas natives Fiona Robberson and Maddie Hill, Shout Alone is dedicated to challenging audiences with intriguing new material, primarily by and about young women. Through fascinating and thought-provoking productions, ranging from themes as daring and relevant as mass school shootings to the disabled community in West Texas, Shout Alone has been the proud recipient of several rave critical reviews and sold-out and over-capacity houses over the last year.
The company’s inaugural season began in July 2015 with Only A Paper Moon, a new play written by Maddie Hill and starring Fiona Robberson, which premiered at FringeNYC’s The Flamboyan at the Clemente Center to much critical acclaim. In accordance with their mission statement of “giving voice to those underrepresented in the modern artistic community,” Shout Alone has since developed three original works that star unique female heroes, including a disabled West Texas girl, a female mass school shooter, and a starry-eyed young woman born in New York’s subway tunnels. Shout Alone has additionally cultivated new relationships with aspiring young playwrights and artists through their monthly donation-based Curated Art Series, which allows for actors, poets, filmmakers, choreographers, and musicians to submit, workshop, and showcase new work in front of an audience of Shout Alone supporters. In their coming season, Shout Alone hopes to produce a year of both new and classic material and further develop educational programming and playwriting workshops for New York youth.
