The Theatre I Aim to Make…
[a draft]
…is for people, not just theatre people
…belongs to everyone who helps make it, including the audience
…responds productively to emotional, political, or spiritual issues of its community
…is accountable for its repercussions
…adheres to respectful and humane production and performance practices
…perennially revises and progresses its commitment to antiracism
…embraces the live performance format and its unique set of advantages and challenges
…provokes critical thinking, inquiry, and wonder
…honors the dramatic vision of the playwright
…encourages audiences to answer questions for themselves
…is made with joy
