Mission

Our future builds on our past

Our line is the theater that we love and value.

Our aim as a group is to develop our skill in the theater arts and bring within reach of our talented people whatever in theater is good and lasting.

We want to provide the materials needed and the place in which to learn and grow, in the friendly companionship of creative minds, each following his own avenue of expression but held together by a common interest.

—Maybelle Tarr, Founder, Augusta Players
