MISSION
Doorway Arts Ensemble is a theater production company whose mission is to provide quality, meaningful, provocative and socially relevant work. We invite artists to create in a collaborative, supportive environment that welcomes bold, risk taking, fresh ideas and intimate, passionate performances.
Through staged readings and theatrical productions, this company is committed to:
- Showcasing emerging professional actors, directors, playwrights, and theater technical staff throughout the Washington DC area and the region.
- Using a multidisciplinary and collaborative ensemble approach to bring a unique
perspective to existing and new works. - Utilizing multi-ethnic and non-traditional casting whenever possible.
"The play is not about the beginning, middle or end. It is the doorway that invites and inspires the director, actors, and designers to explore and collaborate on the interpretation of the text through the ensemble's creative eyes."
-Inspired by the words of Suzan-Lori Parks
