New Fringe Mission Statement
Back in 2014, the Fringe staff and board came to the conclusion that the organization’s Mission Statement needed a revamp. While our Vision, “Theatre for Everyone” remains the same, the Fringe needed a Mission Statement that summed up the work we do, and aspire to do (including our newest project, Theatre Wire)—something that would inspire us on a daily basis and not just be copied and pasted into grant applications.
The Fringe’s External Affairs Committee spent hours reflecting on the Fringe’s past and looking to the future. They took the time to chat with many folks from the Fringe community, including artists, funders, and volunteers. Then after many long sessions with thesauri blazing, they carefully crafted this statement:
“Cultivating artists and audiences to create an open and vibrant independent theatre community.”
Then they took it back to our board and stakeholders. And they like it! They see it as “fun,” “fresh,” and “aspirational.” Now we want to hear from you! Take this short survey and let us know what you think:
