Hello! We are Heather & Suzie, co-founders of You Do You Theatre Co. Established in New York City and expanded to Zurich, Switzerland, we bring the magic of theatre to international audiences.
We first met as performers on the national tour of Go Diego Go, Live: The Great Jaguar Rescue. Since then we’ve been friends, co-workers, teaching artists, choreographers, directors…you name it, we’ve done it!
When the pandemic hit in early 2020, we were searching for a way to allow kids the opportunity to have a creative outlet during school closures and uncertain times. Now we are bringing the magic of theatre, movement and creativity for kids and adults alike!
