About Us

In 2003, Delvena  Theatre Company, hearing the call of schools, colleges, libraries, historical societies,  senior centers, housing and private organizations, decided to present  productions in non-traditional spaces.   The company creates edutainment - original shows designed to educate as well as entertain.  In an effort to enrich the theatrical and  educational experience, Delvena includes a post-show discussion between the  cast and the audience.

Current productions  can be found on our Shows on the Go page.


PRIOR TO  2003

Delvena Theatre Company was founded in 1992 by a group of working actors. In 1996, the company  moved to The Boston Center for the Arts on historic Tremont Street in the bourgeoning South  End. In 1997 the company produced the American premiere of Stephen King's  stage version of his novel, Misery.   The company received the prestigious Boston Center for the Arts  resident company spotlight award for
Misery.   Delvena has produced the American  premieres of Henry V, Pulped. and the  New England premieres of Anna Weiss and Caryl Churchill's Blue Heart.  Delvena  co-produced Death and the Maiden with  REC Theatre (Manchester, England ) and Dark Water Theatre (Portland, Maine)  at the Edinburgh, Scotland Fringe Festival in 1997. 

Delvena was nominated for two  Independent Reviewers of New England (IRNE) awards for acting as well as a Best  Ensemble award.  The company's 1997 production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?  was on  Theatre Mirror's Best List for acting, directing and production.  Delvena's productions of Anna Weiss and Beyond
Therapy
were also named to the Theatre Mirror's Best Play List.  In 2003,
