The Company Theatre’s mission is to pursue three priorities:
- Utilize a working method that protects our artistic core value to produce plays that boldly examine the human experience;
- Share our working method with theatre actors and directors who share our artistic core value;
- Contribute to the development of a larger and more informed Toronto theatre audience.
OUR CORE VALUE
Our company is performance-focused. We believe that theatre is an actors’ medium and that the optimal path to a meaningful experience for both audience and artist is to empower and challenge performers. Our philosophy puts performers at the centre of our work and has led us to creating a unique rehearsal and performance process. Our process works to eliminate the repetitive choreography of theatre and allow the story to be told fresh every night. It’s our core belief that this approach to theatre not only rewards artists but also has the greatest probability of providing audiences with an indelible experience.
