Mission Statement
The Mission of Butterfield 8 Theatre Company is to provide audiences a fresh take on classic plays, and foster the creation of new works for the stage.
Description
Our vision is to present audiences with examples of re-imagined classics, focusing in particular on text-driven plays (such as the works of Shakespeare), and new works devised by the company or written by local playwrights. Our work often examines perceptions of gender, both within the context of the play and the larger context of society as a whole. We strive to create an immersive environment, believing the audience’s experience starts when they buy the ticket and continues long after they’ve left the theatre. We endeavor to engage the audience in a live experience of ideas and story; inviting them to feel they are a part of that journey.
