About Jumblies Theatre + Arts
For over 20 years, Jumblies has been making art in everyday and extraordinary places with, for and about the people and stories found there, creating transient utopias and far-reaching ripples. Everyone is welcome!

Jumblies engages in collaborations between professional artists and diverse people and communities, and mentors and supports others to do so. Jumblies expands where art happens, who gets to be part of it, what form it takes and which stories it tells. This imperative has led us outside of specialized art places, and to place participation and radical inclusion at the core of our projects. We say Everyone is welcome! and embrace the joys and challenges, social and aesthetic, of meaning or trying to mean it.
