Mad Cow Theatre was founded in 1997 on the belief that theatre is a dynamic and powerful means of social understanding as well as a hugely entertaining art form.

You're probably wondering how Mad Cow Theatre got it's name! Well the founding members were together at an Olive Garden (the one that used to be next door to our current location) having dinner. They all knew they wanted to put on a show for the community, but they needed a name to do so. Two founding members had a farming background and the late 90’s was a time when animals where very prominent in business and theatre names, someone put it out on the table, and Mad Cow stuck.
