milkweed productions is a nonprofit theatrical production company created to provide opportunities for emerging artists and storytellers to build sustainable creative careers by producing work that connects people across cultures, communities, and borders.
Founded in London by two American actors & theatre makers who met at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), milkweed believes that storytelling is one of humanity's most powerful tools for empathy. Through bold theatrical productions, community engagement, and artistic collaboration, we create spaces where local stories resonate globally and global stories strengthen local communities.
In a world increasingly shaped by division, isolation, and uncertainty, milkweed productions champions art that reminds us of our shared humanity. We embolden emerging artists to take flight.
