BEGINNINGS
Founded as a nonprofit in Dallas, TX in 2014, Cry Havoc Theater Company’s body of work includes seventeen original productions. In 2019, the teen company was named “Best Thing to Happen to Local Theater” by D Magazine and received three D-FW Theater Critics Forum Awards for its production of Crossing the Line including Best New Play or Musical, Best Performance by an Ensemble, and Best Directors (Mara Richards Bim and Tim Johnson). In 2018, Cry Havoc’s production of Babel received two Forum Awards including Best New Play or Musical. In 2018, the company was awarded Theatre for Young Audiences/USA’s National Community Impact Award, presented at the Kennedy Center’s New Visions/New Voices Festival. In 2020, KERA and NPR released a five-episode podcast about the company’s 2018 production of Babel.

In March 2023, Cry Havoc ceased operating as a nonprofit, and the trademark was transferred to the company’s founder, Mara Richards Bim.
