The Undermain Theatre is an ensemble that produces new and experimental works in Dallas, New York, and Europe, and sustains a theater under Main Street in Dallas' legendary Deep Ellum. The theater was founded in 1984 by a group of artists who transformed a warehouse basement into a unique performance space.

Throughout their history the Undermain has produced such noted writers as Mac Wellman, Jeffrey M. Jones, John O’Keefe, Erik Ehn, Suzan Lori-Parks, Lenora Champagne, Howard Barker, Caryl Churchill, Goran Stefanovski, and Octavio Solis. Collaboration and communication during rehearsal and production with many of these authors has been an integral and exciting part of their work.

The theater has received critical acclaim during its more-than-two-decades of existence. Nationally, the Undermain has been hailed as "one of the best small theaters in America" (San Diego Union-Tribune). Locally, the Undermain is the proud recipient of the 1994 Ken Bryant Vision Award, "…the most significant form of recognition for fostering creativity and innovation in the cultural arts of Dallas." In 2000, the Dallas Morning News called the Undermain "…our most daring and accomplished theatrical troupe…".
