Our Mission

dedicated to the past, present & future of american theatre
Our Vision
To honor the past and examine how it has shaped us, we program one main stage production of a classic or new classic work each year (the Past), which serves as a thematic through line for the season. To foster the emerging artists of our time, we program one main stage production each season of a deserving- but-under-produced contemporary play (the Present). To create future audiences and artists, and to extend the reach of the theatre to a wider demographic, we program free arts camps for underserved youth in New York City through our Little Creatures Act Out initiative (the Future).
