GAWDAFFUL MISSION

Gawdafful National Theater is a loose cabal of highly trained, strongly gifted actor-artists-insects committed to making complex, poetic, crass, and finely crafted theater. Through the rarified magic of "gawdafful" (high class god-awful), we risk confounding, disorienting, and piquing audiences while insisting on intellectual rigor, exploration, and emotional depth. Gawdafful is devoted to the beautiful, the ugly, the out of line, the old and awkward in theater and its traditions while inviting in ideas from performance and intuitive practices. We are interdisciplinary, intergenerational, architecturally minded, sensual beings, with a deep love for expansive performance.
