Eden Theater Company was conceived by Diane Davis Steiker and Cassandra Paras, mother and daughter, to help bridge an intergenerational gap in our theater experience.
OUR MISSION
ETC exists to create new and original plays that inspire a deeper understanding of the world around us through provocative storytelling. We seek to bridge the gap between all forms of identity alongside our collaborators and our community. We believe that all areas of society bear the mark of gender and root our stories in a feminine aesthetic.
CORE VALUES:
Come As You Are
We ask all those we congregate with to share their authentic selves. A community can only be achieved through honesty and trust.
Compassionate Inquiry
Engaging with the most challenging issues facing our society requires us to think critically while remaining compassionate. In the words of Adrienne Maree Brown, “Be tough on ideas, not on people”.
Collective Knowledge
No individual holds all the answers. The whole is always greater than the sum of its parts. Eden invites all people to share their voices and to receive other voices in equal measure.
Disruption
Upending the status quo is our measure of success. We encourage all those we connect with to take action and create tangible change.
