Fly-By Theatre's Aesthetic
Our theatre is committed to creating new work, which can continually reflect the ever-changing topography of our society. Creating original works gives us more freedom to reflect different modalities of thought and include performers from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, both of which are important to the life of the company.

Our original works series also allows our company to collaborate with and support other artists and art organizations. Fly-By Theatre could employ a poet or writer to help us create the text for the piece or musicians to create an original score.

History
Fly-By Theatre, Inc. started as an informal group two years ago in Minneapolis, MN. It consisted of six core members and six affiliated members. The group produced plays such as The Workroom by Jean-Claude Grumberg, Wedding on the Eiffel Tower by Jean Cocteau and The Lesson by Eugene Ionesco. Because the company was still in its infancy and because several of the founding members are from the South, the company decided in May 2001 to move to Atlanta. Five of the original members followed the company in its transition.

Despite the exterior changes in location and membership, the company has remained committed, focused and true to its original vision - to train as a group of performers and to present poetic theatre where the actor's body and voice have equal measure to the written text.

Our future seasons will continue to include a variety of styles and texts that reflect our mission.
