Purpose and Mission

The Bond Street Theatre Coalition, Ltd., a not-for-profit, 501©(3) corporation, was founded:

• to create innovative theatre works that communicate across lingual and cultural borders and bring these works to diverse audiences worldwide;

• to utilize the performing arts as a means to address social, political, and environmental issues with imagination and clarity;

• to further cross-cultural understanding by participating in and initiating community arts projects and humanitarian outreach programs in a wide range of communities globally, particularly post-war areas and conflict zones;

• to stimulate other artists towards these ends through collaboration, exchange, and creative associations with artists and organizations around the world.
