Our mission statement, as articulated in our 2005–2008 Strategic Plan:

CENTERSTAGE is an artistically driven institution, producing and developing an eclectic repertory in collaboration with leading theater artists for a diverse audience, interested in challenging, bold, thought-provoking work.

Values central to our mission are:

• The centrality of the artistic vision to all institutional decision making
• A rigorous pursuit of excellence in all we do
• The courage to take risks
• A commitment to diversity

Simply put, artistry—in service both to our artists and our audiences—is CENTERSTAGE’s top priority.
