Our mission is to share impossible-feeling stories with naked honesty, emotion, true ensemble artistry, and radical inclusivity. We believe a play never closes until everyone who saw it stops thinking about it, and that theatre is, at its best, a sacred conversation between actor and audience, revealing the joy and pain of being human. In other words, a gift.
