CATALYST
THEATRE

Ancient City. Bold New Voice.

A New Theatre is Emerging

A new light is rising on the shores of St. Augustine.
Catalyst Theatre was born from the belief that storytelling still matters, that art still has the power to transform communities, challenge perspectives, awaken empathy, and inspire meaningful change.

This is more than entertainment.
This is a catalyst.

A message from the Artistic Director

SHERRIE PROVENCE

Catalyst Theatre represents the beginning of a bold new chapter. After dedicating nearly 5 years to help guide the Northeast Florida theatre scene in a more professional artistic direction, she felt called to create something entirely new: a theatre rooted not only in community, but in artistic excellence.

Change is good.
It is not always easy, but sometimes it is necessary.

Now, Sherrie invites you to follow her into a new era of storytelling in St. Augustine, Florida – where you can become part of the community she is building and the movement she is beginning.

Because great theatre is never just about a song and a dance.
It is about the legacy those stories leave behind long after the curtain falls.
