MISSIONTheater in Asylum joyfully pursues theater that challenges and empowers our community. We cherish rigorous research and an ensemble-driven approach to theater-making. We create performances to investigate our past, interpret our present, and imagine our future. We prize space to process, space to question—asylum—for ourselves and our community.
VISIONA world where the stage is a continual forum for question, debate, beauty, and progress. We seek a freer world and believe theater is both the means and the ends.
