Overview
Mission
Theatre and other live performance.
What it reported doing in 2025
In 2025, HorseChart Theatre Company successfully co-produced a critically acclaimed naturalistic play focusing on the complexities of aging and late-life relationships. We partnered with another local non-profit theatre, bolstering our mission of serving the community while simultaneously strengthening creative relationships that serve that community. The production achieved a 95% capacity attendance rate over its full run. To ensure accessibility for the demographic reflected on stage, the organization donated over 120 tickets to local seniors' groups and residential care facilities, and provided approximately 200 tickets at reduced prices. The project included a residency with the playwright, featuring four public "talkback" sessions to engage the community in the creative process. The production received several major local theatre awards - including Best Production, Best Ensemble, Best Direction, Best Script, and Best Leading Actor in 2025 - furthering the company's burgeoning reputation for excellence in contemporary drama. We also solidified ties with additional area non-profits and are already speaking with other orgs about beneficial partnerships in the near future.
