Mission and Program Overview
Mission
The primary goal of CharACTers is to promote cultural curiosity. We want our performances to make a connection to the mind heart and spirit of our audiences; creating and stimulating a hunger for the experiences only achieved through the arts. As a theatre group in the community CharACTers largely depends on the commitment and dedication of its many volunteers who donate their time and talent on stage and behind the scenes from actors and stage crew to box office attendants and family members.
