Our Story
Reflex Theatre was founded in March 2020, during the first days of the pandemic.
​
We saw that theatre would become even more inaccessible.
We saw that opportunities for creatives would be decimated.
We saw that communities would become isolated and forgotten.
From this, we made a simple goal and a simple promise.
THE REFLEX GOAL
To enable everyone's right to access the arts
THE REFLEX PROMISE
To inspire positive social action through live experiences
