Studio 506 Theater was an indie theatre company in Lowell, Massachusetts from June 2014 to October 2019. The theater performed in found spaces and designated performances spaces -- bringing theatre to all parts of Lowell in order to increase access to the arts for all.

 

The company’s work was ensemble-based with a focus on both the macro and micro levels of community, resourcefulness in production value, intimacy with the audience, relationships between ourselves and others, & re-centering classic works to reflect the truth of the world as we know it today. The work included a variety of performance styles: readings and full productions of new works, singing cabarets, traveling Shakespeare classics, immersive musicals, and partaking in outdoor festivals. 

​

Born in 2014 - first as a way for college friends to create more theatre together while growing as artists - Studio 506 blossomed into a grassroots indie theatre company focused on development of new artistic expression within members of the Lowell community.
