who we are
* Founded in 1993, HATTheatre is a         not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) production company.
* Our goal is to offer Richmond audiences high quality theatre, featuring the area's most talented & dedicated artists.
* Our venue is an intimate 70 seat black-box theatre.
* We also offer an extensive array of classes for all ages from 5 to adult in our education series.
  
                       what we do
We bring eclectic shows with broad-based appeal to our audiences and are dedicated to offering fair and reasonable ticket prices in order to be as accessible as possible to all who enjoy live, professional theatre.

For classes our tuition costs are some of the lowest in the area, believing these types of classes can benefit many by bringing a positive force to the community.

So where does our name come from you may ask? It is not an acronym, but a nod to the many hats often worn by those who help bring a show from the page to the stage.
                                    the details
