Founded in 1981, Touchstone Theatre is a professional, nonprofit theatre company located in our multi-ethnic and multi-lingual Bethlehem. At its heart is a resident ensemble of theatre artists rooted both in our local community and the international community of ensemble-created theatres. The ensemble is engaged in the creation of original work; the on-going development of theatre productions in which image, movement, space, and sound play as important a role as the text; touring selected original and ensemble-created works; offering educational programs that inspire students of all ages to discover their creative voice; and demonstrate the power of theatre as a community-building tool.
