Created in partnership with the City of Dublin and Dublin Arts Council, Tantrum Theater will initially produce a three-show summer theater festival with plans to expand to a year-round operation within five years. Productions will be performed in the Abbey Theater until the City of Dublin completes the construction of a performing arts center planned as part of the Bridge Park development. In addition, Tantrum will provide educational workshops to high school students in and around Dublin, impart Ohio University students with practical experience in a professional theater in order to develop rich skills in their field by their graduations, and help grow the arts scene of Dublin, its surrounding communities and Ohio University.
