Azuka Theatre

Founded in 1999 by a group of young artists, Azuka’s mission is diversity and to tell the stories of the downtrodden and overlooked (its pay-what-you-decide ticketing policy also speaks to that spirit of inclusiveness). The company made a big leap forward in 2016 when it became one of the resident groups at the Drake. In their terrific new space and under artistic director Kevin Glaccum, the company upped its game with some significant world premieres.
