OUR ORIGIN STORY

FOUNDED IN 2016 BY
CHRISTOPHER DOMIG AND JANELLE GARCIA DOMIG,

Sea Dog Theater emerged from successful collaborations and productions that explored themes of alienation and reconciliation. Our journey led us to St. George’s Episcopal Church (209 E 16th Street), where we are honored to be a company-in-residence.

Our multi-use space acts as home to a host of community organizations, including Alcoholics Anonymous, a pre-school, a community church for the deaf/hard of hearing, operatic music ensembles, and a soup kitchen. The communities we share space with are as much a part of the Sea Dog community as our artists and audiences, and we look forward to continued partnerships with these organizations.

WHAT IS A SEA DOG?

The term "sea dog" symbolizes the uncertainty and danger of life’s journey, much like being out at sea. We navigate through challenges, always aiming for —but at times unsure of— our destination. Occasionally, we glimpse a rainbow-like formation, reminding us of hope amidst uncertainty.
