After humble beginnings, when productions were mounted in whatever space was available to accommodate our budding troupe of artists and actors with their small audiences, we now enjoy a growing reputation and national recognition for excellence in theatre. From our home in the Metropolitan Arts Center in downtown Dayton, The Human Race Theatre Company provides ever-increasing audiences with a myriad of entertaining and enlightening performances. Most works are now presented in the intimate setting of our own Loft Theatre, while annually we are able to utilize the larger and more elaborate venue of the historic Victoria Theatre.
Our Youth Training Programs, which include classes, residencies and tours, allow us to connect with over 30,000 students and teachers annually throughout Dayton and southwestern Ohio, both in and out of classrooms. In addition, we have now expanded our onsite educational programming even further with the new Caryl D. Philips Creativity Center.
We have earned our place as a vital part of Dayton's cultural community by offering an alternative to mainstream theatre with thought provoking productions that challenge and enlighten audiences. As our name suggests, we present universal themes that explore the human condition and startle us all into a renewed awareness of ourselves. As Dayton's only professional, not-for-profit theatre, it is a mission we take very seriously as we address the educational and cultural needs of those we serve.
