We are a group of BIPOC artist who were inspirited to start a theatre company that is an inviting space for marginalized artist to feel safe, heard, and seen in the company and in the works presented by The M!X. 

Our mission is to diversify the content that is produced in Utah by incorporating and including BIPOC artist/staff into every work, decision, and representation for the local community. We would like to ensure that this includes all marginalized groups.
