We serve a diverse community of artists, students and audience members and have a wide outreach to a broad constituency of non-traditional theater-goers. We reach audiences through our national tours, University residencies, via our website and through social media. The community we serve also includes our prestigious roster of donors and community partnerships who believe in our mission and support our programming.
