Theatre Outré

MANDATE
Theatre Outré strives to epitomize its namesake, in the stories we choose to stage and in the manner and locations we choose to stage them.

MISSION STATEMENT
Our operations are motivated by the following guiding principles:

We are a professional company that presents theatrical content, subject matter, styles and forms that are alternative to what is currently offered in our community. (We define a “professional” as anyone who trains and works primarily in the performing arts regardless of union affiliations)

We provide an uncensored and uncompromising voice to those in our community who are often considered to exist beyond the fringes of social propriety, sexual norms and gendered expectations.

Our season is selected to entertain, enlighten, challenge and provoke. The season will be a combination of new work by local artists, reinterpretations of old works and published plays that fit our definition of outré.

We make a concerted effort to employ artists who choose to live, work and study in the Lethbridge area – for our community, by our community.
