COMMUNITY DIALOG SERIES
The mandate for the Community Dialog Series is to provide a venue for which objective discussion is able to take place that allows for full participation by speaker(s) and guests.
The American Repertory Theater of Western New York, Inc. believes in the notion that theater companies are seen as objective institutions. Being objective in nature, the theater company will serve as a crossroads for all partners in the community to assemble, who are interested in advancing the best interests of Western New York.
While presentations might reflect certain ideas; the theater company is seen as apolitical and objective. Our mission, through the Community Dialog Series, is to serve as a catalyst for change in our region. By presenting these open forums for discussion, conversations among ALL of the stakeholders in the area will be given the opportunity to express their ideas, gain clarification on a specific topic and become invested in the process of making our region more dynamic in nature by improving the human condition, whether it be social, economic or cultural.
The theater company will serve as an agent of change by inviting community leaders and activists to present plans to the public in an objective, non-biased forum; provide opportunities for those representing opposing views on an issue to openly discuss and debate the merits of the topic at hand; to provide informational programming for the local citizenry and increase collaborative efforts for those who are attempting to affect positive change in whatever form.
We are currently in the process of scheduling our Dialog Series and invite you to check the site for the dates and times.

The mission of the American Repertory Theater is two fold. First, the mandate of The American Repertory Theater is to produce both classic and contemporary theatrical works and support a new generation of playwrights. These productions are purposefully created through the innovative exploration of these selected works, thereby enhancing the cultural and intellectual experience of the theatergoer. Second, the American Repertory Theater will serve as a catalyst for community dialogue and action that will result in sustained economic growth and increase the collaboration within all sectors of our community.
