about why not theatre

Our vision is a world with limitless possibilities for all.

Our mission is to make things better through art. To reinvent how stories are told to inspire new ways of thinking about creativity and civic engagement.

We push. Never settle. Question everything. Rethink how stories are told. And who gets to tell them. We believe in art. It’s how we make change. It’s how we create the world we want to see.

We bring it. We dream, share, and take risks. To create a world where art plays an essential role in the lives of all people. Where everyone is welcome. Everyone has a voice. Everyone can realize their full potential.

We make things, better.
