History

The company was founded in 1999 by Christian Barry, Anthony Black, Andrea Dymond, Zach Fraser, and Angela Gasparetto; a group of emerging artists seeking a structure under which to create and produce work. The company was incorporated in May of 2000 under the name Bunnies in the Headlights Theatre and received status as a registered charity later that year.

As the artists evolved, so did the company. In 2004 Barry & Black took over as artistic co-directors, refined the company’s artistic vision and reinvented the company as 2b theatre.

In our 10 year history, 2b has staged 13 productions, including 9 world premieres. Our work has been nominated for 20 Robert Merritt awards, including 4 nominations for best production. In 2008 2b took home 3 Merritt Awards (Best Director, Best Lighting Design, and Best Actor). At home and abroad 2b has earned a reputation for work that is innovative and precise, intelligent and moving.
