Purple Octogon began as a group of good friends dedicated to providing the community with new, raw, and on the edge theatre of the highest quality.
The company is comprised of local actors, writers, directors, dancers, singers, MCs, jesters, musicians, artists, and dreamers. We are working towards
an ideal scenario of self-sustainment though our productions.
Purple Octogon has a goal to produce quality entertainment that engages it's audiences with original productions. We pride ourselves in out openness to new works,
and our willingness to take risks. We offer a new approach to theatre, and dare to say what isn't said. We stand out from other theatre companies though our
universal ability to open minds and our audacity to provoke independent thought.
