Turnip Ensemble Theater

 

Turnip Ensemble Theater, a nonprofit theater company, is dedicated to fostering physical and devised theater in San Antonio and South Texas by providing access to a diverse methodology and educational opportunities for performers, theater makers, and non-actors. As an ensemble-based company, Turnip thrives on creating excellent and immediate ensemble-based theater productions through a deep collaboration among its artists, emphasizing community engagement, accessibility, and innovative storytelling.

 

The seeds of Turnip Ensemble Theater were planted in 2022 with its inaugural production, We Sail On In Darkness, led by Turnip founder Ruthie Buescher. It was an experimental piece exploring the stories of female mystics across time. Featuring a diverse and intergenerational cast and crew, the production drew over 600 audience members and nearly sold out its run, underscoring the community’s hunger for original, non-traditional theater.

 

Since then, Turnip has presented new productions and training workshops, including a sold-out Devised Theater Workshop in 2024 and identified a pressing need for accessible, high-quality training opportunities for local artists, educators, and performers, especially those working in contemporary and experimental forms.
