ABOUT TANTRUM THEATER
Tantrum is a professional theater created in partnership between Ohio University College of Fine Arts, the City of Dublin and the Dublin Arts Council. Tantrum will stage productions in the Abbey Theater in Dublin, Ohio, until the City of Dublin completes the construction of a performing arts center planned as part of the Arts and Cultural District.
In addition, Tantrum will provide educational workshops to high school students and community engagement in and around Dublin, as well as help grow the arts scene of Dublin, and its surrounding communities. The company, with more than 90 members this season, will be comprised of professional actors, designers, directors and production staff, and will be augmented by select Ohio University student apprentices.
