Our Mission

Sparking Change

Thanasis Theatre Company is committed to creating high quality, accessible theatrical entertainment that challenges the status quo, inspires uncomfortable discourse, and conveys the human condition through an unexpected lens, engaging artists and audiences that have otherwise been ignored or underserved.

Equitable Diversity

We are invested in fostering opportunities for marginalized artists, and will continue to offer at least half of all cast & creative positions to such individuals, especially Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.

New & Underrated Works

While we will never shy away from presenting a classic (especially one that's done with an anomalous conceit), our focus shall be fixed upon works which are seldom, if ever, produced – whether at home in Central New York, or elsewhere around the world.

Our Mission

"Drama is exposure; it is confrontation; it is contradiction and it leads to analysis, construction, recognition, and eventually to an awakening of understanding."

Peter Brook
