Mission & Vision
Mission
By producing new plays and classics marked by innovative interpretations, reflection and inclusion of our community and the world in which we live ARTax’s mission is to stimulate, celebrate and enhance understanding of ourselves and others through the shared experience of live theater.
Vision
We, in ARTax, like to think that much of our appeal comes from the willingness to break old conceptions, conventions, and the barriers separating audience and cast. We do this by incorporating contemporary ways of stage movement for singers, testing the old canons of the traditional concept of opera and finding ways to appeal to new audiences by means of collaborating with other artistic and commercial companies.
