About
Mission Statement
One Stage Theatre ignites creativity, connection, and community through the transformative power of theatrical storytelling. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving the greater San Francisco Bay Area, we provide accessible, engaging performing arts experiences that inspire, educate, and bring people together.
Through live productions, multilingual digital storytelling, family-centered programming, youth camps, and classes for all ages, we create meaningful opportunities for artistic expression and personal growth. Our work is rooted in the belief that the arts are essential—building empathy, amplifying diverse voices, and strengthening the cultural fabric of our communities.
We are committed to ensuring that individuals of all backgrounds, abilities, and generations have a place on our stage and in our audience. By reflecting and celebrating the rich diversity of our region, One Stage Theatre serves as a vibrant, inclusive hub where stories are shared, voices are valued, and creativity thrives.
