Our Mission

The purpose of Stories on Stage is to nurture empathy and understanding among individuals as well as groups through performing arts programming that combines theater with literature.

 

The citizens of the Colorado Front Range are the focus of our activities. Our intent is inclusive: we present literary stories by writers of diverse cultural groups, read by professional actors of varying backgrounds to an audience that is as broad-based as our community.

 

Stories on Stage is guided by the following beliefs:

1.  Empathy and mutual understanding are skills that can be built and enhanced through stories.
 
2.  Stories are a powerful tool to help people create context and process experience.
 
3.  Literature is a tremendous source of powerful stories.
 
4.  Actors enhance and focus the impact of literature.
