Our Mission
Blue Water Theatre Company’s mission is to create a theatre community for young people through meaningful and transformative experiences.
Blue Water Theatre Company is organized exclusively for artistic and educational purposes. We reach our goals by promoting an environment where young people can develop into healthy, caring and responsible adults. Each child will learn to communicate positively, encourage one another, and integrate into their surrounding community and model positive behavior.
Our Vision
Blue Water Theatre Company’s vision is to be a model organization that is “kids first” and focused on creating outstanding theatre productions that are developed in a safe, accepting, responsive and supportive community which builds in young people confidence, intellectual curiosity, empowerment and skills that last a lifetime.
