Dixon Stage Left Mission Statement

To empower, provoke, motivate, educate, and inspire…

To produce challenging, stimulating, innovative, and diverse artistic work that speaks to the intelligence, the soul, and the imagination of the community…

To provide a nurturing artistic home for artists, technicians, staff, and all who have a passion for the development of the fine arts. A place to develop and practice the craft, share talents, enrich lives, and fulfill dreams. A place for everyone in the community – children, adults, and senior citizens – regardless of life circumstances.

To discover and develop the finest talent by offering professional training and mentoring experience, working with the entire spectrum of craft, talent, and skill.

To attract tourists, visitors, and area residents to enjoy exciting, rewarding, educational, entertaining, artful, and developmental programming.

To provide a venue for familiar, new, and developmental productions by artists who may otherwise have their works unnoticed.
