Our Story
The Tipping Point is that one dramatic moment when everything can change all at once…
From operating as a “vagabond” theatre company under the umbrella of the Parks and Recreation department, performing in any empty space we could get our hands on and paying actors with smiles and applause – we opened in 2007 with big changes – tipping point changes!
Incorporated as a professional, non-profit 501(c)3 organization in the state of Michigan, Tipping Point Theatre opened its doors as a professional Equity theatre company in our permanent facility in downtown Northville.
Tipping Point Theatre is under the direction of two local women artists, Jamie Warrow and Julia Glander, and led by Board President Nannette Ret.
Join us in fulfilling our mission by continued participation as an audience member, actor, designer, donor and advocate for theatre in Michigan.
