About Beau Jest Moving Theater
Beau Jest is one of New England's premiere theater companies, known for their imaginative productions and a joyous physical acting style. Winners of the 1995 Boston Theater Award, they have long been recognized for their creative approach to theater. A strong streak of optimism runs through all of Beau Jest's work, and a willingness to experiment with many styles. Mask and puppets, historical events, cabaret artists, cartoonists, tap dancers, choreographers, and composers have been but a few of the influences on the company's collaborations. Beau Jest is an artist-run organization with a twenty-five year history of exploration and investigation into the role of the actor as creator, and the uses of movement and text to spark theatrical immediacy. Their work has carried them to appearances at prestigious festivals, three Off-Broadway runs, and hundreds of shows in the New England area. The desire for artistic freedom and a total personal investment by the actors in the quality of the work are major reasons for the company's existence.
