At Bird On Stage, we create outsider theatre for outsider audiences, bold, unconventional, and unapologetically different. We are proudly Northern Ontarian, Torontonian, and Jewish-led. Bird On Stage was born out of a belief that stories, raw, risky, messy stories, are how we survive.

We are a scrappy, independent company made up of outsiders, misfits, neurodivergent thinkers, and emerging artists who never quite fit the mold. And so we built our own.

We’re here to make the kind of theatre that doesn’t apologize. Theatre that gets under your skin and stays there. The kind that makes people laugh unexpectedly, cry openly, and whisper “me too” in the dark.

We produce bold, boundary-pushing stories that don’t always get told about mental health, grief, queerness, generational wounds, religion, gender identity, class, loneliness, rage, hope. We offer a space where artists and audiences alike can come as they are messy, complicated, beautiful and belong.
