  The Human Race's Artistic Principles
   As theatre is a social art, a vital theatre works to affect
   the conscience of its community.We consider our
   audiences to be more than consumers. They are
   intelligent and informed--critical partners in this
   creative experience. We believe that a community is
   richer by the presence of artists, therefore we wish to
   nurture the talents of artists who are invested in the
   region and encourage new artists to join our
   community.We believe this organization has a
   responsibility to be actively involved in the education
   of our youth and the development of our community.
   We believe theatre is an evolving art -- both in form
   and content. We have a responsibility to provide a
   platform for our artists to explore and grow.As our
   name --"The Human Race"-- suggests, we present
   universal themes that explore the human condition
   and startle us all into a renewed awareness of
   ourselves.

   Because theatre artists can grow in their craft when
   exposed to the global community, we encourage our
   artists to network with outside professionals. We
   believe the fruits they bring back will nourish us.
   We also believe that bringing visiting artists into
   our community will provide both our theatre artists
   and audiences with new skills and viewpoints.

   This company seeks collaborations with other
   companies that will enhance the performance skills
   of artists and create unique production opportunities
   for our audience. We treasure both cross-disciplinary
   projects and affiliations with other theatre
   organizations. We believe this organization has a
   responsibility to be actively involved in the
   education of our youth and the development of our
   community.

   We understand that every child learns:
   - Behavior by imitating others,
   - Problem solving by creating stories,
   - Social responsibility through team work, and
   - Compassion and understanding through roleplaying

   Our educational programs are designed to nurture
   and stimulate children to become responsible,
   respectful, collaborative citizens. We believe that active
   participation in creation of art fosters an appreciation

  The Human Race Theatre Company works
  to affect the conscience of our community, to
  see our audience as our partner in the
  creative experience, to provide a platform for
  our artists to evolve and explore, and to be
  an educational resource for our community.
  As our name suggests, we present universal
  themes that explore the human condition
  and startle us all into a renewed awareness
  of ourselves.

   of the art form. As the children of today become our
   future audiences, we encourage our drama students
   to become informed, curious, adventurous audience
   members.We believe young students who are
   seriously interested in pursuing a career in
   theatre deserve the opportunity to train with
   disciplined, caring professionals in order to
   develop the language, technical skills and attitude
   that are required to compete in a professional world.
   We look for opportunities to support academic
   institutions and theatre students by providing
   instruction by or internships with professional
   artists. We provide opportunities for theatre faculty
   to practice the art form they teach and share their
   talents with the entire community.
