ABOUT ACTORS THEATRE OF LOUISVILLE
Mission
Actors Theatre of Louisville unlocks human potential, builds community and enriches quality of life by engaging people in theatre that reflects the wonder and complexity of our time.

About
Actors Theatre is an arts and culture organization as social enterprise, sharing experiences centered in a commitment to create a more just society through the ongoing disruption of the cycles of oppression, marginalization, and exploitation. Anti-racism and anti-oppression are essential in an ecosystem that has profited from the historic antecedent of plantation capitalism. In pursuing a synthesis of art and service, we have taken a deep dive into digital production and have become an interdisciplinary laboratory for a storytelling (r)evolution.
