Our mission is to champion new plays that break down barriers of cultural misunderstanding, transform perspectives, and create space for fresh narratives to unfold. We keep a pulse on the social conversations happening in our global community, and are committed to incubating and presenting plays that directly address these questions. We believe in the power of theatre to challenge, reveal, and heal.
We strive to shake up the canon of the American theatre by introducing diverse voices and transformative BIPOC stories. We invest in topical projects and emerging voices that courageously reach beyond comfort and into truth. We produce plays that challenge perspectives, overcome barriers to empathy, and illuminate authentic, diverse, and inter-generational human stories. We are a safe place for new play incubation. We inspire the conception of new plays and facilitate development through workshops, readings, playwright mentorship, and commissioned projects.
