About Us
Our Vision
Our vision is to serve the community by presenting plays and musicals, immersive shows, hosting events, classes and workshops, all with the hope to bring the community closer together.
Creativity and inclusiveness will always stand at the forefront of our productions.
Our Mission
We strive to create theater opportunities within the local community for everyone.
We believe in the benefits that come from participating in and experiencing theatre, and in the importance of providing a place for anyone to be involved in any capacity, in front of the curtain or or behind.
Our objective is to expand what theatre is and can be, and go beyond the typical to overcome traditional casting and theater practices.
