MISSION

We believe that theatre—done well and with passion—can transform lives and communities.

At the theatre, in schools and online, we create remarkable performances; broaden access; foster empathy, equity and cohesion; and gather with one another around art, conversation, food and other shared experiences in a welcoming, inclusive space.

VISION

How can a theatre be an agent of social change—helping foster a community that is fundamentally more equitable?

We will be innovative, agile, and uncompromising as we build an inclusive company, amplify new voices in our work, and revolutionize access to art. We will cultivate a loyal, supportive audience that reflects our region and world, and welcome many to the theatre for the first time. We will make our home a true community space and instill a culture of respect, positive collaboration, trust, balance, and empathy in our diverse, creative workforce, while continuing to strengthen the foundation of our company to last for generations.

We seek to become an engine of the American theatre—and not only join, but lead the conversation.

We see a premier national theatre in Northwest Arkansas.

OUR COMMITMENTS

TheatreSquared aspires to create a welcoming space for all communities that gather here. We commit to a culture of true hospitality, and will strive to anticipate and meet the needs of all our guests with a generous and friendly spirit, so that all who walk through our doors know that they belong here.

We are also committed to learning as an institution and we encourage all to join us in crafting and sustaining an equity-driven culture. Mutual respect is the foundation of a healthy community. TheatreSquared defines an inclusive space as one in which racism, discrimination and harassment are not tolerated, and we commit to being an anti-racist institution. The company invites its staff, artists, and audience to help hold ourselves accountable to these commitments by “calling in” our actions and each other with love, conversation, compassion and context—and with a clear expectation for change.

Thank you for creating this community with us. We are glad you are here.
