After three seasons performing on the Herberger Theater Center’s Kax Stage, Order Chaos Theater Company is officially a Resident Company at the Herberger.
Founded in 2022 by brothers Mark and J.P. Clemente and a close collaborator, Order Chaos has established itself through actor-driven productions that explore vulnerability, truth, and humor through intimate storytelling and community-minded values, a press release notes.
“Our partnership with the Herberger has helped shape our identity,” Executive Director Mark Clemente stated. “This residency is a meaningful milestone — recognizing the impact of our artists, supporters, and audiences.”
Order Chaos’ first three seasons featured productions such as “The Gin Game,” “Children of a Lesser God,” and “’night, Mother.”
Beyond the stage, Order Chaos collaborates with local nonprofits to share resources, support artists, and increase accessibility, including its ASL Impact Program, which provides American Sign Language-interpreted performances and promotes inclusion for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.

“As we grow, accessibility and collaboration remain central to our mission,” Artistic Director J.P. Clemente stated. “Theater should reflect the full range of human experience — who’s in the story, who tells it, and who gets to witness it.”
