Our purpose is to accomplish this through our commitment to the following goals:

  • To create an artistic home for women playwrights.
  • To nurture a strong company of actors, directors, designers, technicians and administrators.
  • To awaken new ideas, stimulate change and encourage dreams through new works and new forms.
  • To nurture individual creativity while collaborating with like-minded institutions to develop and promote women artists.
  • To enrich our community and our world through the art of theatre
