New Stage Theatre

About the Theatre

The mission of New Stage Theatre is to provide professional theatre of the highest quality for the people of Mississippi and the Southeast. New Stage is committed to producing important contemporary works and classics, selected for their artistic merit and their power to illuminate the human condition. Challenging new works in development are included through the Eudora Welty New Play Series named for the distinguished writer and the Mississippi Plays Series. The theatre is dedicated to cultivating and educating a culturally diverse audience by gathering the finest available resources including playwrights, actors, directors, designers, technicians, administrators, trainees, and board members. Integral to the theatre’s total effort, its education department maximizes its potential by offering artistic and technical apprenticeships, by mounting apprentice touring programs supported by teachers’ materials for schools statewide, and by developing curricula for and teaching youth and adult classes.
