Misson Backwards Company strives to rigorously combat the rumor that theatre is dying. As a unified and cohesive ensemble of artists, we are able to defy and reinterpret todays theatre mantras while also inventing new techniques of our own. In these efforts we hope to present meaningful, driven work of immediate relevance as proof that theatre is not in fact dying, but evolving into a new and more communal art form. History Backwards Company began as the brain child of Caleb Penn in 2005. During his freshman year at Cornish College, he recruited over a dozen people to help him create his first show, Dreams, Oh Dreams. This 40-minute long piece was about pursuing dreams and battling oppressive doctrines, and was the perfect show to represent Backwards Companys point of view. Three years later, the company stands strong on these values and is launching its first full season.
