What Threshold Repertory Theatre does
Mission
Threshold repertory theatre exists to inspire and excite the public through the shared experience of bold and visionary presentations of classic and contemporary theater and to provide that experience at an affordable cost, so that the whole of the community can share in the richness of the theatrical experience. We hope to enrich the lives of our fellow citizens by offering creative and challenging productions, featuring the work of the talented performers and artists, who have chosen to make Charleston their home and by providing participatory theater related education programs and experiences. Threshold repertory theatre seeks to pay their artist and designers a living wage. It supports an artistic lifestyle. We seek to identify and encourage existing and new talent, especially local performers and play rides through programs designed to introduce, develop, and champion in their works. Through a commitment to excellence, innovation, and experimentation and affordable cost, we hope.
