Our Values.

Cultural Reflection: Theatre reflects and critiques societal values, norms, and issues. Through storytelling, we can address pressing social, political, and ethical dilemmas, fostering dialogue and understanding.

Community Care: We adapt with compassion and understanding when personal and community needs shift unexpectedly. By cultivating strong ties with local groups, we harness the collaborative potential of theatre to uplift and empower our community. 

Creativity and Innovation: The Rep serves as a hub for experimentation and exploration of new ideas and techniques. We encourage pushing boundaries in performance, staging, and storytelling.

Outreach and Service: We pursue educational programs and community activities that engage with and contribute to the well-being of our local community. We seek to enrich the lives of those around us, embodying our core values of empathy, collaboration, and social responsibility.
