Mission Statement

Hunger & Thirst Theatre is deeply inspired by the ritual of a community gathering around a fire in order to break bread and share their stories.

Therefore, we are dedicated to sharing timeless stories. We create insightful reimaginings of classical works in hopes of making them more relevant to a modern audience. We are also in the process of incorporating new play development into our programming, as we believe in the importance of offering a platform for the many timeless stories being crafted by our generation. 

We also strive to be a communal hearthstone for artists and audience members from all walks of life. We endeavor to foster a warm and welcoming space where the hunger and thirst for collective illumination can be satiated through the time-honored art of storytelling.

Hearthwork

Hunger & Thirst is reimagining ways to support, grow, nurture, help and be present with our community. We will focus our outreach efforts on what we, in name, claim as essential:  hunger and thirst.

We will keep the focus of our outreach work on hunger and thirst—food insecurity, clean water, food justice, food rescue, access to healthy, nutritious food and water for all people. We will adopt “*Food Sovereignty” principles, work, and organizations as guidance for our endeavors.
