Attic Salt Theatre Company, Inc. is a non-profit theatre corporation dedicated to presenting theatrical performance which elevates performance standards by eliminating existing boundaries, redefining the roles of both the performer and the audience, examining perceptions of truth, challenging these perceptions, and exercising the courage to present these ideas to the public. We feel that, to produce quality theater, managerial professionalism is as important as artistic merit. Professionally we value an organized, welcoming atmosphere, care for the ensemble, honesty, and a strong production team. Artistically, good writing, a respect for the audience, directors with strong vision and the ability to communicate that vision, and artistically driven projects are key. Therefore, it is important to us to remain honest throughout our relationship with all artists we employ. We encourage them to "bring things to the table" in each production. As producers we have our own visions, but by remaining open to the suggestions of other artists, we hope to create shows that are more fun for them to be a part of, form a lasting relationship, and give them the same sense of accomplishment that we hope to have. It is important to us that we do not take our personal experience for granted. We must remember to prize the things we have learned as individuals that help and inform the direction of the company and the shows we produce. Be it a penchant for accounting, or a love of puppetry, there are elements of all knowledge that can serve the company and this mission if we allow them to. It is important to us that we produce theater for its own sake. It's easy to see certain types of art as "lesser" art because it is marketed to a specific niche, or created from a specific discipline. We like to think that Shakespeare is not separate from children's theater is not separate from musical theater.
