Heralds of Hope Theater Company, Inc's Mission.

The Heralds of Hope Theater Company, Inc is a Maryland-based nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization. The company's mission is to promote community outreach and provide opportunities for others by mentoring and providing a platform of artistic expression for aspiring performers and technicians of all ages. The theater company is intended to be a fertile training experience for aspiring actors, writers, directors, set designers, choreographers, lighting designers, backstage crew, and theater technicians in general. Individuals experience all aspects of a live theater production.

We promote values-based plays that depict contemporary real life issues and universal themes in society that seek to enhance social and cultural awareness and diversity through theater and the arts. We are a community theater and welcome volunteers.

The Heralds of Hope Theater Company seeks to:

• Maximize educational opportunities by providing a learning experience to those without access to the performing arts to expand their creative and intellectual growth;
• Increase the capacity to generate new creative works;
• Develop new opportunities for artists to allow them to showcase their talent;
• Provide opportunities for youth and adults to actively participate in all facets of theater;

• Generate revenue from productions and become economically self-sustaining;
• Give minority playwrights a venue for bringing their work to the stage;
• Partner with an area college/university or other non-profit entity such as churches to become its theater-in-residence in order to: 1) provide artistic and educational services in exchange for access to facility, security, insurance and parking for patrons, 2) share in revenue from productions as a fundraiser for the colleges/non-profit entities such as churches, and 3) join in a united community outreach endeavor.
• Secure our own facility to conduct training, rehearse, provide storage space for set and costumes, and stage our plays.
