iDiOM Theater is committed to developing and producing world-premier performances, providing local and international artists a venue to create and perform original material, and giving audiences diverse, immediate, accessible exposure to new and established theater works.
iDiOM has premiered more plays than anyone would want to count. We remain proudly committed to producing as many new works as possible. Why? Because inspiration should never lie fallow or undiscovered. And lack of inspiration is no excuse not to write. And you have to start somewhere. And if you don’t keep starting, it stops. Plays are written and performed. iDiOM Theater does both, with gusto.

We are presenting a 5 show Pre-Season in early 2009 as a preview of our next full season and a defibrillator to our quiet, empty space. The theater will be dark again from June to late August while we re-design the lighting grid, revamp the space, and initiate the new and various systems of bookkeeping, staffing, networking, non-profitting, and keeping it real that probably won’t show a bit to the average theatergoer but will be totally indispensable to the average theater-operator. On August 27 we will proudly launch our magnificent ’09-’10 season. Can’t wait.
But we have to, so in the meantime enjoy the iDiOM Pre-Season, which is a microcosmic cross-section of the grand explosive season to come. See the full schedule below.

In ’09-’10 we will produce three world premier full-length productions by NW writers, around 30 original one-acts, new films, and new collaborations with local musicians. We will also produce a script by an American theater notable, and the original works of two kindred artists from afar.

1418 Cornwall • Bellingham, WA 98225
Seeking the iDiOM and can't find it's semi-secret
location? Ernest theater-goer,
champion of the arts, I can tell you this:
You know where Giuseppe's is on Cornwall? That big Italian restaurant with the
Ionic columns? And then to the north of it is the Pickford Movie Theater and
right past that is Allied Arts? Well, snuck in-between those two establishments
is a DOOR and if you go through that DOOR and go straight down the hallway, you
will be in the iDiOM's lobby. And from that portal, with the exchange of monetary
funds, you will be granted entry into the theatah, that labyrinth of love, and
all the heavenly delights that come with your entrance fee.
