The board of directors spearheaded a collaborative exercise with the theater’s employees, volunteers, patrons, donors and friends to formally define the theater’s organizational culture. Through a series of surveys, conversations and displays, we collected hundreds of sentiments about how we collectively define the values of Theatrikos Theatre.

The honest and creative feedback we received about what the theater is and should be resulted in a powerful statement that we believe reflects and drives our values, norms, beliefs and habits. The resulting word cloud highlights the most prevalent themes we encountered during our discovery, including “community,” “talent,” “fun,” “quality” and “home.”

Thanks to all who helped in this exercise, our organizational culture is a wonderful reflection of our shared vision:
