Basic Acid Theatre is a non-professional company dedicated to the production of contemporary theatrical works by emerging playwrights. Produced work will examine existence and the human condition through a raw (and sometimes comedic) lens.

The company was founded in November of 2005, and had its inaugural production at the 2006 Edmonton International Fringe Festival to critical acclaim—the Basic Acid Theatre production of "Finer Noble Gases" by Adam Rapp was one of only three shows to get 5 Stars from the Edmonton Journal.
