Dunamis Theatre is an alternative theatre company vowing to ignite the creative spark in all of us through theatre, conversation, and community.

Dunamis has a priority to both cultivating new works and presenting published works in experimental form and or challenging in content. Our intent is to provide a theatrical experience through all genres of theatre focusing on high quality productions; to explore new ideas, provide education, and training to develop theatre artists in children and adults in Akron and the surrounding areas. The mission of Dunamis Theatre is to inspire, challenge, entertain, educate, and empower artists and audiences of all ages by igniting the spark within our own internal dynamite; provoking examination of our contemporary world.

Deeply rooted with moral power and excellence of the soul , the Greek word Dunamis refers to the philosophical concept of potentiality and actuality. Dunamis Theatre explores the strength, power, and ability by virtue of live theatre. The inherent power by which a person or story puts forth; creating a dynamic effect to leave all involved changed then when they entered; the internal combustion that happens when we witness a story that burns the soul. By creating new works and presenting published works in new ways, Dunamis Theatre will be the spark that ignites our own internal dynamite.
