MISSION STATEMENT

THEATRE EDUCATION AND PERFORMANCE ADDRESSING THE PROBLEMS AND POSSIBILITIES OF OUR TIME.

The Paradise Theatre School is a leading educational and cultural force on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, encouraging discipline and theatrical risk-taking in our students, producing uncompromising new plays and adaptations of the highest quality, and addressing the problems and possibilities of our times.  

  The Paradise believes theatre must provoke, shock, and even disturb in order to survive; that it must be argued about in the streets and not easily forgotten like so many familiar, safe, and soothing entertainments.

The Paradise creates community by advocating for the audiences and students we serve in all the work we do.

We are committed to making The Paradise Theatre School’s unflinching creative aesthetic accessible to the widest possible audience.  Make that commitment with us.
