Established in 2022, New Canon Theatre Company’s mission is two fold: to stage daring re-imaginings of the classical and contemporary canons and to produce diverse new works that foster empathy and help broaden our collective cultural understanding.
Our vision, ever evolving and growing is as follows:
To foster and produce bold and meaningful theatrical works created by and featuring talented, inspiring, and diverse professional and community artists from all backgrounds.
To embrace the educational power of the theatre through classes and performance. It is our belief that an equitable arts education is fundamental to the growth of society, and therefore should be a cornerstone of our responsibilities as an arts organization.
To ensure theatre is accessible to all, regardless of financial means. Our ticketing and audience engagement practices will ensure that nobody will be denied the transformative power of live theatre.
To reject the notion of “the starving artist” by implementing equitable wage practices for both union and non-union professionals as we grow our company.
We look forward to your support as we strive to do our part to broaden the horizons and impact of the American Theatre.
