About us:
Established in May 1983, Urban Stages' mission is to discover and develop new plays by authors of diverse cultural backgrounds. It is our belief that theater has the power to dramatically change lives, offer new alternatives for the future, and be used as a teaching to tool. Theater must be ethnically inclusive to ensure its relevance in today's socially complex environment and serve the community.
