When you perform at Transcendence it is very important to know that you are a part of an ensemble.
We produce unique musical revues featuring Broadway and Pop music. This year we are also proudly producing Beautiful: The Carole King Musical.
Our Broadway Under the Stars series is presented in a rustic outdoor setting in the Field of Dreams located two blocks away from the Historic Sonoma Plaza. It is important to note that our theatre and pre-show experience is completely outdoors and you could experience a wide range of fluctuating temperatures during a contract at Transcendence.
At Transcendence we create experiences that bring our community together. During your time with us you may be connecting with our community through various events including a family dinner. There are various events throughout the summer where select donors, sponsors, and members of our community get a glimpse of the artistic process by watching a select part of rehearsal and mingling with artists afterwards.
With a deep belief that art is service, Transcendence is committed to bringing the energy of Transcendence to as many people as possible. From free performances to donating our time and talents in theatre camps and workshops, our full company plays a vital role in outreach that grows our relationship with the community. Artists participation in community outreach projects varies per contract. Details will be shared during the first day of orientation.
A few examples of past outreach projects include workshops and programs for the Boys & Girls Club, La Luz Center, Sweetwater Spectrum, Becoming Independent, and Social Advocates for Youth.
The dictionary definition of Transcendence means “lying beyond the limits of ordinary experience/exceeding usual limits” and to “rise above or go beyond.” At Transcendence Theatre Company we believe life is art and our aim is to create extraordinary experiences that inspire people to live life to the fullest.
Every person walks into a theatre with their own story. They bring with them a vast scope of emotions from happiness to sadness, frustration to excitement, and overwhelm to awe. We will never know the endless intricacies of a person’s story, but what we do know is that the extraordinary experiences we create have limitless possibilities to profoundly impact people’s lives. One night in our theatre could spark inspiration for someone to rise beyond a challenge, empower someone to dare to bring a new dream to life, or simply bring happiness to one’s day.
Our hope is to share a burst of energy that people can take with them out into the world as they traverse the highs and lows of life. Transcendence aims not only to inspire but to empower everyone to unlock the artist inside themselves and reach higher in every aspect of life.
As a company we always start our rehearsals with 4 deep breaths and a 15-30 minute “Alignment”. Our alignments are exercises that allow us to center our energy and start the day with inspiration. Alignments can include positive quotes, discussions, meditations, group warm-ups, and more. We strive to create an environment that reinvigorates our artists to view art as service.
We also gather prior every performance for a circle up to inspire us all to use our art to serve our community.
