NARRATIVE OR DESCRIPTION We produce five shows a year with the inclusion of one World Premiere. While concentrating in the devclopment of new works and emerging artist, our wide selection of plays and works attracts all members of the community where we operate. The summer program will include readings, workshops, and exciting projects for children. We are also implementing new approaches to audience development, through the introduction of new programs outside of our physical location on Lincoln Road. As a community organization, our first responsibility is to the younger generations that for the most part are growing up unaware of cultural legacy. We Develop and Cultivate local talent by exploring not only the ethnic and cultural differences unique to American Society, but also those commonalties upon which we build our shared citizenship. We have created a series of programs to reach out to young artists who often lack professional ground to apply their craft. With out commitment to multiculturalism, which is reflected both in the work presented and in increasing diversity of our audiences, we educate the community with works that reflect our society's ever changing morals and values. Of course our audiences arc very mixed, but we are proud to say that we have the youngest audience in South Florida. We also contribute with more than 1.000 free tickets to senior citizens, struggling artists and students.
