Crowded Fire Theater is dedicated to discovering and developing work that challenges audiences to see the world differently. Founded in 1997 by a small group of artists after a successful Fringe Festival show, Crowded Fire has grown into one of the key players in San Francisco's experimental theater community. Through our pursuit of difficult art - art that is challenging both to produce and to watch - we have earned a reputation for innovation, for the unexpected, for delighting and puzzling audiences with theatrical work that is genuinely on the edge.
