WE ARE
an ensemble of professional theater artists who operate out of the Harbor Stage in Wellfleet, MA. In 2012, our co-founders banded together to return an artist-run operation to the iconic seaside theater where we'd first met. Since the beginning we have garnered overwhelming critical praise and been able to rejuvenate the Harbor's artists, core audience, and artistic reputation. The Harbor Stage Company is a 501(c)(3) incorporated non-profit. Read more about our mission here.
