Breaking Ground! A Theatre Company logo was designed to give a new visual identity to the organization which was formerly known as Brimmer Street Theatre Company. As a member of the group, we have been rebuilding the company from the ground up with a new mission and original works.
Breaking Ground Theatre Company is a Black femme lead company with a diverse body. We are not “centering diversity”. We are creating from the center. We are committed to reflecting the multitudes of identities, thoughts, faiths, shapes, abilities, genders, sexual orientations, and cultures that exist in our company and our world.

And Then They Fell tells the story of Jordan and Cal, two teenagers who find themselves without stable homes. Jordan has fled a home wrecked by alcoholism and sexual abuse while still trying to graduate high school with honors. Cal is a young transgender boy set adrift by his family’s intolerance as well as the failure of adults and the institutions designed to help him through a severely vulnerable period.
