Description
The mission of Flat Tire Theatre Company is to develop new works, reimagine familiar stories, and present eclectic yet relatable theatre about the necessity to keep moving forward no matter what. Flat Tire is looking for First Year Fringe Participant shows that share in this mission for The “Spare Tire Award”. Flat Tire is also looking for shows that run on the collective power and energy of its ensemble to tell these stories of perseverance- whether it is through their art or the artists themselves.
