​Our Mission

Founded in 2009 as Machine Theatre, XOXO is a collective of artists/creators who develop original performance pieces in Charlotte, NC. Our work is romantic and dynamic, musical and strange.  XOXO is committed to radically altering the profile of contemporary theatre in the Southeast and beyond, the continued development of creative vision through ensemble training, and the generation of new work as well as inventive adaptation of classic texts.
