Same Boat Theatre

Same Boat Theatre Same Boat Theatre Company is a Canadian theatre company based in Hamilton, ON.

Same Boat Theatre will premiere their first production as a company in this year’s Fringe Festival. Previous to this year, all of the company founders have collaborated together as part of the Hamilton Fringe Festival. In 2013, Aaron, Stephen and Lauren premiered the LARP-themed play Test to both critical acclaim and enthusiasm from Fringe audiences. And, in 2014, the company co-founders were back

at the Fringe with the premier of the short, paranoia-fueled play The Conspiracy of Michael as part of the Gallery mini-Series.

*We create theatre that is immediate and authentic and confront the status quo.
*We are drawn to and inspired by stories that aren’t being told or that haven't been seen before.
*We believe the stage is a powerful focal point for storytelling that can make sense of our world

Both are wanted men escaping an authority determined to control them and their future.
