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

TheatreSquared will secure Northwest Arkansas’s reputation as a place where great plays are born and remarkable productions take shape.

Through transparent conversation and in all our activities, TheatreSquared will hold fast to its commitments to advance positive social change for a more equitable, inclusive community, and to sustain a culture of generosity, collaboration, and humanity, both in the region we serve and within our company.

Building on a legacy of growth, TheatreSquared will further expand our reach and impact — in the theatre, in the Commons, in schools and in our community.

In an industry that remains unsettled, TheatreSquared will emerge as a leading voice and model for how to move forward as a field.

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.
