O S A E S
Mad Cow Theatre Mad Cow Theatre was founded on the belief that the theatre is a dynamic and powerful means of social understanding, as well as a hugely entertaining art form. Through the combination of passionate, skillful acting and compelling, insightful writing, nurtured by an attentive and ever-changing process, Mad Cow presents entertaining works of theatre to an ever-widening audience — promoting, enhancing, and celebrating the human condition through art. Mad Cow Theatre is supported in part with public funds from the State
of Florida, Department of State, Division of Cultural Affairs; the Florida Council on Arts and Culture; the Florida Arts Council; the National Endowment for the Arts, the Downtown Development Board; and Orange County through the Arts & Cultural Affairs Program. A great nation deserves great art! Mad Cow is a 501(c)(3) organization and welcomes all donations including funds, materials, time, and goodwill. We are especially delighted when audience members bring others to share the theatrical experience.
