THE 5TH AVENUE THEATRE'S MISSION IS "TO NURTURE, ADVANCE, AND CELEBRATE ALL ASPECTS OF THE GREAT ORIGINAL ART FORM: THE MUSICAL." IN A TYPICAL YEAR, WE FULFILL OUR MISSION AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE THROUGH THE POWER OF MUSICALS IN THREE WAYS: (1) WE CREATE AND PRODUCE ORIGINAL MUSICALS FROM THE GROUND UP FOR 270,000 PACIFIC NORTHWEST AUDIENCE MEMBERS; (2) WE INVEST IN AND DEVELOP NEW MUSICALS THAT PUSH ARTISTIC BOUNDARIES AND TELL NEW STORIES; (3) WE ASSIST AT ALL STAGES OF THE PROCESS FROM INTENTIONALLY COMMISSIONING WRITERS HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED TO SHOWCASING NEW MUSICALS IN OUR MAINSTAGE SEASON PROGRAMMING; AND (4) WE INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF THEATER ARTISTS AND AUDIENCES WITH HIGH QUALITY AND ENGAGING ARTS PROGRAMS FOR ALL AGES OF STUDENTS.
