ISLE Theater Company ("ISLE") is a Maine-based organization known for creating original, community-driven theater productions.[1]
Founded in 2020 by Anna Fitzgerald and Marvin Merritt IV under the name ANNA + MARVIN, ISLE Theater Company began on Deer Isle as its two founders graduated from Harvard University and were galvanized to make safe, accessible theater in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.[1][2] ISLE's stated mission is to bridge communities through storytelling and is dedicated to "making professional, community-driven work that is staged in unconventional spaces to connect their audience with new places, new people, and new perspectives."[3]
In their first year, ISLE Theater Company produced two productions: Rajiv Joseph's Gruesome Playground Injuries at Moss Ledge Cottage, an oceanfront cottage overlooking Penobscot Bay, in January of 2021, and Anna Fitzgerald and Marvin Merritt IV's Do Not Move Stones at the Settlement Quarry Preserve, a defunct granite quarry in Stonington, ME, in August and October of 2021.[4][5] Both productions were filmed and uploaded on YouTube to increase the accessibility of their work.[6]
Marvin Merritt IV serves as the Artistic & Executive Director, and Anna Fitzgerald serves as the Associate Director. Aislinn Brophy, Ruva Chigwedere, LEMMONS, Angie Stemp, Morgan Witham, and Susannah Yezzi serve as Affiliate Artists.[7][8]
