Mission & Values

Mission

TOJ’s mission is to help maintain a vital and diverse arts culture in Seattle. We accomplish this by offering and operating an affordable, sustainable venue dedicated to performance, art and community. We amplify the voices of Seattle’s diverse artistic community by supporting new and established artists through the production process, and assisting them in achieving their unique vision on our stages.

Values

• Theatre Off Jackson believes in empowering artists to tell their unique stories and the stories of our community.
• We believe we can help artists develop and flourish by providing an environment where taking risks and trying new things is encouraged.
• We believe that performance shouldn’t break the bank – artistic performance should be affordable for artists and patrons.
• We believe that building pathways to opportunity requires broad, systemic change and TOJ wants to be a part of this change in the Seattle arts community.
• We believe that our stages and audiences should reflect the rich diversity of Seattle and surrounding areas.
• And finally, we believe in unicorns.
