Page 121 Productions

It is our mission at Page 121 Productions to create a theatre of necessary sacrifice.
 
As audience members, theatre is a safe forum to ask impossible questions, to test ourselves under heightened circumstances, and Page 121's plays consistently demand us to consider which of our choices must remain sacred at the expense of other options.

Sacrifice takes on additional meaning from an artist's perspective. The name "Page 121" refers to a moment in Anton Chekhov's The Seagull when Nina reminds Trigorin of one of the most important lines from his novel, Days and Nights. He flips to page 121 of the book and reads:

  If you ever need my life, come take it.

Here is the pivotal line in a classic play about young artists, and we have adopted it as a reminder of our professional values. As artists, the process of theatre is itself an act of sacrifice, of giving all you can to your audience and fellow artists when they need you the most. At Page 121, we hope that our productions will offer as much as they can to those who will always need the stage.
