THEATER IN ASYLUM

MISSION

Theater 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.

VISION

A 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.

  • Empathy – We believe art has a unique ability to innovate morality and provoke understanding.
  • Challenge – We believe in the constant reexamination of our world’s judgments, binaries and preconceptions.
  • Integrity – We believe in a strong commitment to – and respect for – our art, our audiences, our predecessors, and ourselves.
  • Availability – We believe new audiences should be constantly welcomed and cultivated, while seasoned audiences constantly surprised.
  • Artistry – We believe that quality art takes care, craft and magic.

TIA joyfully pursues a rigorous research and an ensemble-driven approach to theater-making. We create performances to investigate our past, interpret our present, and imagine our future.

Core programs include original productions; themed cabarets to present new work from our community; and Cold Readings to read and discuss published plays.
