The Purpose and Mission of South Stage
The purpose of educational theatre is to help students become ethical, thoughtful, and compassionate adults by telling engaging stories with sophisticated characters in challenging situations. Our students learn how to be adults by experiencing the complexities of life in the relative safety of theatre.

To that end, South Stage is dedicated to:
  • Facilitating artistic collaboration among a diverse company of students and professional theatre artists
  • Developing creative expression, teamwork, and communication skills through the theatre arts
  • Producing plays that challenge and educate ourselves and the Newton South community
“If you don’t believe that the theatre has the ability to make us better people—and by ‘better’ I mean more caring, more informed, more passionately committed human beings—then there is going to be very little dialogue between us.”
--Terrence McNally, playwright
