Our Mission

Founded in 2019, the Dirty Mirror Collective was created by Riley Wilson and Mia Cooper-Graham in accordance with their first production, (SH)ED. Now with the addition of Vanessa Schmoelz as their third member, Dirty Mirror Collective aims to explore themes of femininity, mental health, and social justice through contemporary theatre.

As three women navigating an ever changing world in this industry, we strive to open conversations about the realities we face as well as the experiences of our peers. We value diversity in all forms, whether it be in appearances, cultural experiences, identities and opinions. We believe in opening the floor to new discussions— even if they’re difficult to have— and believe theatre can be a magical place to do so.
