Our Mission
Focal Point Theatre Company's mission is to create theatre that...
...is aesthetically bold and engaging.
...reflects our society and makes its own cultural impact.
...embraces and redefines the collaborative process.
The focus of FPTC is to create work that is explorative and challenging, while utilizing various accepted and unconventional modes of collaboration, across artistic styles, mediums and traditions. FPTC hopes to create and foster an interactive community of artists and arts patrons which encourages dialogue and engagement beyond the typical in-theatre transaction.
A core belief of FPTC is that the creative process and its end products are mutually beneficial to both the artist and the audience, and we will endeavor to provide both with opportunities to expand their understanding of, and experience in, the theatre. To that end, both our artistic and operational processes are built on a foundational philosophy of mutual benefit, or "Win-Win". We will actively seek opportunities to promote or cross-promote our work and the work of our community members as a regular practice, and we will endeavor to be a nurturing, supportive and encouraging artistic home for our collaborators.
Transferring this axiom to the stage is accomplished by selecting material reflective of our goals. We will produce a mix of established and published works (both modern and classical) as well as new, original pieces. To both we will apply a vigorous strategy of collaboration that encompasses directing, acting, design and management.
Focal Point Theatre Company has been creating theatre in Chicago, IL since June of 2010.
