Why it all began…

Galen Mae Productions was born out of a shared belief that theatre can still be sacred. That it can still move people—not just for a night, but for a lifetime. We believe in performance as a form of soul-work. In storytelling as a way of making meaning. In ensemble-driven art that evolves through trust, experimentation, and communion. Our mission is to develop original theatrical works that resonate spiritually, emotionally, and artistically, and to build a long-lasting home for the artists who dare to dream them into reality.
