To discover the power of classic theatre.

Vision

To be the national center for classic theatre.

Court Theatre is guided by a mission to discover the power of classic theatre.   In pursuit of this mission, Court produces five adventurous main stage shows each year and sponsors a wealth of audience and student enrichment programs;  actively explores a wide range of dramatic texts, including African-American and musical works; and works to expand the canon of classic theatre through initiatives such as the Barbara E. Franke Commissioning Program for New Classics. Above all else, Court endeavors to inspire audiences and make a lasting contribution to American theatre by examining and re-envisioning classic works to illuminate timeless themes and uncover immediately relevant messages.
