Our Mission

We bring joy into the world, one performance at a time.



Where Joy Meets the Stage

“Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.”
Marcus Aurelius

Theatre in the Wild

Performance happens almost anywhere. We perform in museums, theatres, restaurants, outside, online, and in the virtual world. Our work goes where you are. We break the mold of the traditional stage. Our performances let you close the door on the outside world for a while. Our work reminds us what it means to be human. Welcome to Heart Theatre | Teatro del Corazón.

Who We Are

Heart Theatre operates as a nonprofit production company. Stacy Whittle and Felipe Benítez started our company to bring more joy to the world. We collaborate with incredible people like Tom Furness to ensure our work reaches you, no matter where you are around the world. Our team experiments with emerging technology to provide access to people who spend time in virtual spaces. We don't care where you are. We just want to bring you joy.

What We Do

We create productions that leave a smile on your face. Our work will make you laugh. Every project must pass one test: the audience feels more hopeful after the show. Our shows provide fun. Every show grows from joy. Love and unity drive our process.

Why We Do It

To build a community of people around the world who believe in the power of joy to change the world. We want you to see our shows and know you will leave happy. Our work gives you a chance to shut the door on the outside world for a bit. You’ll feel better after engaging with our music or our plays. We do this to bring more joy to the world.
