ReAct Theatre

Mission

ReAct Theatre strives to explore the diversity of our community and produce innovative, quality theatrical entertainment through multi-ethnic and non-traditional casting.

Description

Founded in 1993, for 30 years ReAct has worked to increase racial equality, generate opportunities of underserved artists, and cultivate diverse audiences through the use of non-traditional and multi-ethnic casting of mainstream projects,

Our primary goals are to:

Give theatre artists of all backgrounds and skill-levels the opportunity to work together on mainstream projects that they might not normally have access to due to race, gender, age, disability, or experience.
Use our productions to help raise awareness, supplies and financial support for humanitarian and theatre-related charities and organizations.
Develop in the general public, an increased appreciation for the diversity of the dramatic and performing arts.

Our Value Statements are:

Diversity: Creating opportunities for underserved artists.
Community: Building and supporting a strong community of artists and patrons who participate in our work.
Sustainability: Sustaining our organization by growing our work.
Education: Developing programs to experience, participate and learn via the dramatic and performing arts.
Innovation: Actively engineering new ways to approach our productions, our organization and our audiences.
