is a non-profit theatre company based in San Diego, California. It was born in the year 2006. Its caretakers are several. We are raising it as we would a small wounded kitten found in the fireplace. Tonic is healthy and growing, growling even. Pat it on the head, give it the car keys, because it will ask for them soon. Tonic Has A Mission TO ENGAGE, EDUCATE and ENTERTAIN our audiences by producing challenging texts for performance TO SHARE our belief that theatre is a vital, communal art TO DEVELOP the love of theatre in all people–but especially the young–so they become patrons and practitioners of art "Every person should be an artist, the absolute master of whatever he is doing at the present moment." –S.Tret'iakov
