Values:

INTEGRITY
We embrace all members of our community with a deep commitment to being fair, trustworthy, and honest.

COMMUNITY
We recognize and respect the diverse and unifying interests and goals of the people we serve including our audiences, artists, donors, staff, and national theatre community. We strive to serve as a good citizen of our university, city, state, and country.

ARTISTRY
We are committed to the highest level of theatrical artistry. We pursue, throughout the organization, talented, dedicated, bold, and creative individuals.

COLLABORATION
Collaboration is the essence of our creative process. This process is the best way to not only truly fulfill our artistic vision but to optimize our work as administrators, technicians, and artisans.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Our best work is possible when every individual can bring their authentic self to an environment of acceptance and mutual respect. As we attract people with underrepresented voices and value their contributions we amplify our ability to fulfill our mission.

FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
As stewards of a more than fifty-year-old arts institution, we recognize that the creation of great theatrical art is predicated on effective and sensible financial and business practices.
