Overview

Mission

Our mission is to use theatre as a tool to unite communities and create opportunities for unheard voices, untold stories and reimagined classics. We believe everyone should have access to live performing arts that are affordable, local, representative of the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our 7th season saw the expansion of our Stagecraft Summer camp, we doubled the number of campers in order to accommodate the growing demand, and sold out all 6 performances. Additionally, we produced the hit Broadway musical Chicago, after applying for the license for many years. This season also allowed us to venture into a new genre with 2 Dungeons & Dragons themed shows, as well launching a new theatre camp for adults. During season 7 we also added 2 new venues, one of which commissioned a re-stage of our Potomac mystery at their location.
