About Us

Explorers’ Theatre Collective was born from a dream and commitment by a cohort of Fine Arts alumni from Scottsdale Community College and Arizona State University. Shared experiences in the theatre as both students and graduates inspired the founding members to create the collective. We believe that exceptional performance art and storytelling requires dedication to the craft and the genuine cooperation of the whole. This is the foundation for ETC.


“It takes a village," as the adage goes.

Explorers’ Theatre Collective seeks to explore past concepts and stories with a fresh perspective, while also seeking out new voices and works. The members of the collective strive to enrich their community through performance and the arts. It is their desire that their work not only entertains but inspires; with the hope of providing an opportunity for thought and the magical connection that can only be achieved through the theatre.
