The Beginning

In July of 2021, a group of theater friends and art lovers decided to form an organization to foster a community of cross-cultural actors to produce plays that gave voice to underrepresented communities of all types in Ohio and promoted a multicultural experience.

Under the leadership of theater director Dante F. Larzabal they created Babel Box Theater and incorporated in March 2022 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity in the United States.


Mission Statement

To foster a community of cross-cultural actors to produce plays that promote a multicultural experience and gives voice to underrepresented communities of all types in Ohio.

Values: Babel Box Theater core values stand for inclusion, social relevance, innovation, authenticity, artistry, and connection.

Vision: A world where dramatic artistry encourages critical thinking and challenges each of us to see the humanity in ourselves and others.

Uniqueness: Babel Box Theater distinguishes itself from others by focusing on the production of new works and adaptations of Classics produced in a “cinematic live theater” style. This unique style will create productions that are relevant and attractive to younger audiences.

Artistry: Cinematic live theatre blends theatrical performance with cinematic techniques, using visual media (set projections and video sequences) to create a continuous, immersive, and dynamic narrative experience. Sound effects and music are designed to further enhance the immersive and atmospheric sensation.
