Who we are
Soul Siren Playhouse is an American nonprofit arts & cultural enrichment organization committed to social outreach, activism, and artistic development through the medium of dramatic & artistic expression.
At The Playhouse we aim to challenge and provoke thought, thus change, through artistic exploration and dramatic encounter while holding space for safe, civil, proactive communication and collaboration on polarizing issues.
The Siren Creed
Without the Soul,
the Siren’s call bears no purpose.
Harbingers of destruction,
when the haunting bellow of the Siren
is heard ringing from the mountains,
all indeed must come to a stop.
A shared universal silence;
where threat of imminent annihilation
or miraculous salvation are on the line.
A reminder of our connection with the Divine;
when the Siren is heard,
every eye must turn in communion and bear witness
to the Truth that has been stirred within...
Thrill, Awe,
Fear, Enticement,
And with this energy we must Act.
But in this act, we are not Alone.
And every breath is precious Life or Death.
When the Siren’s fateful song is heard,
inevitable change is on the verge.
But who will dare to fight when others freeze or run? Whose voice will rise in love when the Siren’s cry is sung?
Our Founder
