About Dev Doc Theatre

Mission Statement

Dev Doc Theatre is devoted to bringing understanding to the misunderstood by documenting lived experiences, celebrating those who are overcoming or have overcome great challenges and preserving the history of those who wish to share their experiences with their descendants and future generations.

Who We Are

Dev Doc Theatre celebrates the origin of theatre: STORYTELLING, by embracing the belief that every person on this planet is capable of bringing understanding to the misunderstood.

Dev Doc Theatre wants to be a universal, online, video, audio and written-word library of people’s experiences.

Dev Doc Theatre is a library in search of books (Your stories). We’re a garden, ready for you to plant your story, and reap from the stories of others. We’re a classroom, where you can share the lessons you’ve learned and learn from the lessons of others. And we’re a health unit, where you can give others hope, by showing them they are not alone.

What We Do

By telling your story and speaking your truth on something you are experiencing or have experienced, you will be giving all who see it, hear it or read it the best possible reason to learn from it, because you are living it or have lived through it.

We seek to hear from anyone who is overcoming or has overcome a challenging life experience. We seek to hear from anyone who is labeled or has been labeled one thing, while knowing they are so much more. We seek to hear from anyone who knows that they, because of their job, where they live, who they support or what age they are, are not what other people think them to be. And we seek to preserve the history of each and every one of us. Each of us has the power to teach the truth about life, from where we are or where we have been.

Why We Do It

We want to help everyone who visits this website, our YouTube channel, Instagram, X, and Facebook, to gain a better understanding of the world we live in and the people who live in it.

We want to help everyone who is overcoming a great challenge or being misunderstood know that they are not alone.

And finally, we want to create a documentary theatre library of your stories, your truths, for anyone to create their own devised documentary theatre production.

Please consider submitting your story!

Where We Are Now

This website, our DevDoc Theatre YouTube channel, our social pages represent our new endevor to bring understanding to the misunderstood by inviting everyone to share their truth about something that is unknown or misunderstood.

Your words, on video, by voiceover or written, will help make the unknown, known; the misunderstood a little more understandable and help everyone understand more about our world and the people who live in it.

NOW LET’S BE CLEAR,
we’re not asking you to be a part of a theatre production.

But we are inviting all theatre artists to explore our videos, voiceovers and written words as possible source material for their own live theatre production on the topic or event you’re talking about.
