After 20 years of productions, in the past year, Triad Stage has reemerged as a professional regional theater that celebrates diverse voices, perspectives, and lived experiences through artistic expressions that inspire deep and palpable questions that face our community, selves, and world.

Our organizational culture is shaped by our expanded Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Access (DEIA), Anti-Racism, zero-tolerances harassment policies, and by community standards. Triad Stage is an arts hub for our community, facilitating conversation and inspiring creativity. We celebrate new work, amplify diverse voices, share the stories of our changing region, and provide opportunities for fostering the arts in the Triad, including a Creativity Lab. We value community partnerships which include other arts organizations, university partners, and local businesses. We create learning environments that spark imagination and we commit to mentoring the next generation of arts workers.

With the purpose of increasing access and diversifying participation through powerful and inspiring theatrical experiences, Triad Stage increases impact through expanded networks and durable relationships, celebrates our many communities in ways that reflect the unique and vibrant Triad region, and is building a thriving arts enterprise that is healthy, adaptive, and accountable.

Triad Stage is a barrier-breaking, inclusive, and accessible artistic hub with a focus on building community partnerships, sparking conversation about issues that face our world, and fostering the arts in our state. Triad Stage commits to the responsibility of providing and maintaining brave and healthy working and learning environments and to action steps to improve the creative spaces for all who engage with Triad Stage. Core to our mission are locally-focused arts and engagement through powerful professional productions and programs.

Triad Stage is guided by the Core Values of Adventure (we explore new territory, artistically, and other, to achieve greater impact), Collaboration (we work together to achieve our goals; we aren’t siloed), Diversity (we build an organization that is reflective of our greater community), Excellence (we value a consistently high level of work, both artistically and organizationally), Inclusiveness (we incorporate historically marginalized voices in programs, decisions, and direction setting), and Stewardship (we take seriously the investment the community makes in us and are prudent managers of those resources).

TRIAD STAGE’S NEW PLAY INITIATIVE

As we embark on our next 20 years, we are committed to developing new work through our New Play Initiative. We are investing in the Tennessee Williams and Lorraine Hansberry’s of tomorrow by supporting their work today with workshops, premieres, and – most importantly – time to be creative and take risks. We were proud to kick off this initiative in Fall 2022 with the World Premiere of Rebellious, which was commissioned in 2017 by Triad Stage with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts and a private donor. Throughout our closure we cultivated the play with virtual developmental workshops designed to provide playwright Mike Wiley with opportunities to explore ideas, hear the script, and have the space and time to build the story.

In addition to this World Premiere in Season 20, we held a developmental workshop of NYC playwright Patricia Lynn’s Jekyll, a contemporary adaptation of the gothic novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Jekyll received a week of rehearsal followed by four workshop readings, giving the playwright time for feedback, reflection, and adjustments. As she considers what she has learned in the workshop readings, Patricia Lynn has a year to hone the script for a full production in Fall 2023.

The New Play Initiative gives playwrights the support to develop new work at Triad Stage with the ultimate goal of a world premiere production included in every season. Your support of the New Play Initiative can make a big impact on the classics of tomorrow!
