Our Mission at Plays in the Park
To produce engaging theatre in Humboldt County that supports diversity and community with plays from the traditional canon, opera and other musical theater, new works of women and minority playwrights, family and children shows, and collaborations with local schools and other nonprofits. We provide diverse, eclectic performing arts programming to our entire community and are committed to accessibility for all, regardless of background or economic status. We believe that passionate, risk-taking performance art happens in a positive, supportive environment, and strive to provide professional artists with fair compensation and volunteers with exciting, fulfilling experiences.
