About Playact
Playact builds confident artists through high-quality theatre, meaningful education, and a community where everyone belongs.
Playact Mission
Playact Theatre is committed to cultivating confident, skilled artists through craft, collaboration, and community. We create theatre with high standards and a professional approach to both process and performance, believing that artists grow when they are challenged, trusted, and supported. Through meaningful education, creative innovation, and spaces rooted in belonging, we develop artists who think critically, lead with integrity, and tell stories with purpose. Our mission is to build a theatre community where creativity is taken seriously, voices are valued, and every artist is prepared to contribute onstage and beyond.
VISION Statement
Playact envisions a thriving professional theatre that serves as a creative home for artists and audiences in our region. We see a place where professional artists, emerging talent, and passionate theatre enthusiasts come together to create bold, beautiful work. A place where people of all ages can train in the performing arts, where high-quality theatre education is accessible without the financial barriers of a traditional conservatory, and where artists are paid, valued, and employed. Our vision is a theatre that builds careers, strengthens community, and proves that excellent, professional theatre can grow and flourish right here in Northwest Indiana.
