House of Outcast
The Manifesto
This is not a mission statement. It's a declaration.
Who We Are
We Aspire to Inspire
The arts have historically been a sanctuary for those who feel they don't fit the social norm — outcasts, if you will. The synergy forged through the arts creates a comforting atmosphere that often feels like a home away from home for both artists and audiences alike. Hence, House of Outcasts was born.
House of Outcasts is an industry-independent performance troupe based in San Diego, California, composed of artists of various backgrounds in both theater and film. United by unconventional creativity and a shared goal of fostering passion for artistic expression, our productions offer an immersive retreat from reality — impactful, engaging, and free from corporate standards of artistry.
Our Mission
To create shows that encompass the overall human condition by telling stories through the lens of imaginative fiction. Whether through original works or pre-existing pieces, we aim to transform our audiences by producing work of the highest professional standard — promoting limitless curiosity and boundless creativity.
Our Vision
A future where creativity is the norm. We aim to offer professional opportunities for creatives to engage in artistically profound projects — holding ourselves to a standard of excellence that makes every work memorable and meaningful.
The Three Pillars
Radical Truth
No censorship. No watering down the message for the masses. Art that flinches is art that fails.
Raw Production
Authentic sweat, real film grain, and tactile stagecraft. We build worlds you can feel.
Elite Anonymity
Behind the mask, we are all equal. Excellence is the only currency that matters here.
