Since its founding by artistic director Robert Faust in 1983,
Faustwork Mask Theatre has produced and created six shows that
have delighted audiences worldwide at a variety of venues,
including the Sydney Opera House in Australia, The Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York City, and The Kennedy Center in
Washington, D.C. Additionally, Faustwork Mask Theatre’s first
symphony show “Face the Music” was created in 2006 and performed
to audiences nationwide.
Faust is known for personally designing and creating the masks
used in Faustwork Mask Theatre’s various performances. Made from
wood, leather, celastic, neoprene or bronze, Faust’s masks are
primarily used on stage, but can occasionally be seen in art
galleries and have been commissioned by such professional
organizations as the American Conservatory Theater in San
Francisco, among many others.
Tickets for the Faustwork Mask Theatre performance are $15 and
all seats are general admission. To purchase tickets, visit
