Our Core Values compel us to inspire deeper understanding, welcome learning and growth, celebrate community and live our values.
Through our For The Culture Series, we seek to bridge the gap between the world we know and the world we’re actively striving to build—where we harness the power of theatre to deepen human connections by learning and growing from the lived experiences of each other; connect through art, shared customs, traditions and heritage(s); and where we amplify artists and work by traditionally underrepresented groups or individuals, creating access to the Workshop for historically marginalized communities in order to build and sustain authentic relationships with our fellow community members and theatergoers.
