Goals

Athens is known for its ability to cultivate new music and other arts, but leaves much to be desired in fostering superior theatre. Užupis Theatre Company will deliver this and focus on the following objectives:

 1. Provide quality, professional and educational entertainment to the Athens-Clarke County Community.

2. Employ both new local talent (directors, actors, tech crew, et cetera) and existing professionals from around the Southeast to create a professional work environment suited for artists who make theatre their careers.

3. Promote artistic, creative and social expression through the medium of theatre.

 4. Partner with larger professional theatres within the state of Georgia to enhance the exposure of professional theatre, as a whole, and share relevant resources.

 5. Serve as an informational and educational tool for local schools and the community-at-large by providing informational sessions, symposiums, and materials before, after, and during the plays on subjects discussed in the plays.

6. Draw visitors to the Athens-Clarke County area, increasing tourism and encouraging overnight stays to see the performances and take part in the local culture.
