History
In 1992, Randy Lord and Christ Leebrick came together to "create daring professional theatre engaging the cultural diversity of Lane County."

Downtown Location
In 2012, the company began renovating a 1927 commercial building into a second performance space. The move from the Charnelton location greatly increased the theatre company's capacity for staging plays and seating audiences. The new location has a theatre which seats 124 audience members, a rehearsal space, control rooms, scene shop, and new administrative offices. Although the theatre has already had a soft opening, the construction efforts will culminate in May 2013 with a grand opening and community celebration.
