HOw we started
I’ve always been captivated by the art of storytelling, whether it’s through dance, music, visual art, or puppetry. Springfield boasts incredible theater companies, but there’s nothing quite like the thrill of crafting art from the ground up.
That’s where DOTS comes in. It’s our playground for exploration and creation. Each of us has unique stories yearning to be told, and DOTS gives us the chance to share them with the world through the magic of live theatre.
The DOTS Team is full of a variety of expertise. Each perspective will allow you to develop your piece with a wide range of tools as playwright, creator, designer, director, and performer.
