Mission Statement
Commonwealth Classic Theatre Company is dedicated to the principle that Theatre is
a vital component in a civil society. It is the mission of Commonwealth Classic
Theatre Company to produce professional theatre with classic and contemporary
works that bear witness to the rich variety and commonality of human experience,
and to enhance the appreciation of theatre as a humanizing art form through live
performances, workshops, readings and educational programs for the community.

Artistic Statement
While the heart of CCTC will be classic plays, we will also look to produce
contemporary and new works that have something important to say that is universal in
theme.  Our work will emphasize the power of language, delivering characters and
stories that lead our audience on a compelling journey into the now of
the play. Our goal is to create theatre that encourages our audience to contemplate the
complexity of the human experience, celebrating individuality while
recognizing and enhancing what is common in the human condition. But, most
importantly, we wish to entertain, to engage and to inspire our audience through the
communal experience of good old-fashioned theatre.
