Theater Ninjas is a weird name.
That's not a question.

Okay, why are you 'Ninjas'?
For a couple of reasons:

1. Ninjas are known for their agility and their mastery. We want to be known for the same.
2. Ninjas can be at home anywhere. So can we.
3. Ninjas are hired killers. We put on plays. Okay, so that's not the same thing.
4. The word "ninjas" conjures up things that are fun, exciting and awesome. In general, Ninjas are just cool.
5. Royal Shakespeare Company was already taken.

I read somewhere you sometimes work with clowns. Why should I not hate/fear you?
Clowning has gotten something of a bad name in America. To say 'clown' usually conjures up images of crazy makeup, big feet and red noses. However, the basic use of the term 'clown' refers to a branch of physical comedy related to Commedia dell'Arte, Punch & Judy and Charlie Chaplin/Buster Keaton types. Our recent master class with noted performer and clown, Avner the Eccentric, was an introduction to clown principles that apply to all kinds of performers, no matter what their noses are like.

Do you only create theater for 'younger generations'?
Not at all! While it is one of our goal to attract new and young audiences to our shows, the plays we produce are for Clevelanders of many ages, whether 20's, 30's, 40's, 60's, 110's...

How can I become a ninja?
Glad you asked! If you are interested in working with us on one of next shows, either on or off stage, please contact us at ninja@theaterninjas.com. We usually post information about auditions via Neopal List Serve, Cleveland.com and our own website. Designer resumes are accepted year round.

All righty, that's all I got. Can I go back to the home page now?
Sure thing! If you have any questions, you can e-mail them to us.
