​OUR MISSION

MISSION STATEMENT
The Helene Galen Performing Arts Center engages, inspires, entertains and challenges audiences with
theatrical productions that range from the classics to new works; we train and support the next generation
of theatre artists; we provide arts education programs that promote life-long learning to a diverse
community; and we celebrate the essential power of the theatre to illuminate our common humanity.

OUR CORE VALUES

Artistic Excellence

We collaborate to create an atmosphere that empowers artists to do their finest work. Our rigorous
standards reflect our commitment to excellence in every area of production. We take pride in our
outstanding track record of artists who want to return, and we cultivate an audience that expects to be
challenged. The work we do thrills us, too.
Communication

We aspire to work as a team within and between departments. We respect our co-workers’ time and
resources by striving to meet deadlines.
Community

Our role in the local theatre ecosystem is vital to the community. We provide resources for and host many
organizations at our theater. The people we meet before work and after a performance, the students who
see a matinee, and the businesses and theater companies around us, are all part of our family.
Diversity

We are committed to an environment that fosters inclusion and honesty, and reflects our community. We
respect varied backgrounds and work and life experiences. We pursue programs that attract underrepresented talent, and we celebrate artists and professionals from our valley, the nation, and the world.
Education

We are proud of our deep ties to the local community, and our programs reach over 15,000 students each
year. We reach an economically and ethnically diverse audience, and we are committed to full accessibility.
Financial Responsibility

We honor our audience and School Board by being responsible with our finances, and we create beautiful
theatre with elegance and economy.
Radical Hospitality

We will go above and beyond to make everyone who visits us and works with us feel welcomed, supported, and
challenged to do their best work.
Respect

All great work is nurtured in an atmosphere of civility and mutual respect. Harmonious and collaborative classrooms,
rehearsal rooms, production shops, and office spaces are our priority. We value physical safety and a
supportive and fun learning and working environment.
