Our Mission

New Perspectives was founded in 1991 as a multi-racial ensemble dedicated to using theatre as an agent for positive social change. Our mission is to 1) develop and present new plays and playwrights, particularly women and people of color, 2) present classic plays through a new lens that restores women & BIPOC artists' existence and contributions to the Canon, 3) present theatre to under-served audiences-especially young people and communities in need--to build life skills and promote participation in our society.
