About Us
Who we are and what we value
Mission and Vision
Sixth Line Studios is dedicated to producing excellent work for its audiences and being deeply kind to its artists.
We believe in fostering excellent communication between staff and visiting artists during the creative process. We are committed to meeting the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical needs of our short term visiting artistic teams as well as our long term administrative staff.
Our strong artistic commitment is to making work that inspires, challenges and awakens our audiences all within a context of safety and inclusion.
With our talkbacks, classes and lectures we foster intelligent, educated, inclusive conversations within the community, using the shows we make as jumping off points for these conversations.
We are committed to equity and inclusion across the race and gender spectrums and will illustrate this with our hiring practices, play selection process, and topics for discussion in our community events.
We see theater as a doorway to difficult and potentially life-changing, heart-opening, and connective conversations between individuals.
