In the process, we value human needs being our compass. Process over product. We are about the people, the art, and the work providing fulfillment. We want inspiration and respect.  

In the process we value open communication and practice naming intentions. We explain decisions made for those who weren’t part of the decision process to minimize miscommunication and honor our impulses by being responsible for all consequences that may follow. 

In the process we believe that art is activism. The power of theatre is a priceless privilege that requires attention and consideration.  As artists, it is our duty to listen to and uplift the communities that our art reaches.

In the process we value queerness, you know the gay stuff! 

In the process we value owning the fuck up. There’s no extra time or energy for separating the human from their art as an excuse for poor behavior.

In the process we value our home and encourage each other to minimize waste and maximize resources already in use. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle– YUM!

In the process we value generating systems that navigate harm. Systems– whether generated by the artist involved or borrowed from preexisting practices, must champion justice and care for the harmed.

In the process we value experimentations with spectacle. We will push forward GenZ Theatre, Transmedia Art, Camp, and yet to be named artistic schools of thought. Spectacle is an evolving concept, and we are part of the reason it will evolve. 

In the process we value citations! We go beyond ourselves for inspiration for our work. Therefore, clear citations and acknowledgment of work(s) that inspire us are a must. 

In the process we embrace the intersections of identities. All identities: racial, gender, religious, sexuality, class, disability, geographical, philosophical, political; inform how we view and navigate the world. A process that celebrates and reflects the lives of those involved in the work is represented on the stage.

In the process, we value a balance in creating art that is anti-capitalist in a capitalist society. Art is not a luxury. Everyone deserves pay for the hours poured into projects, and we recognize that balancing this value with our company structure renders us CURRENTLY unable to always fully pay artist what is truly deserved. Nevertheless, we strive to honor everyone’s time, including the audience and look forward to updating this value to be a statement of our practice rather than a promise.
