Playhouse West's mission is to communicate and embody the transformative and provocative power of theatre on society; to provide a source of comfort, education, social development and entertainment to the community, coupled with artistic and production values of the highest caliber; to create a professional environment in which actors and artists of distinction and integrity can thrive, thereby serving society and themselves; to build and maintain a robust and sustainable business model in order to achieve the goals of the company; to respect the responsibility and mentoring role of the arts in the community the company calls home, and provide a comprehensive, inspiring, and professional training programme within that community; and to embrace the give-and-take attitude needed to create lasting and respectful relationships with other artistic venues and businesses -- and succeed in being an example and leader.
