The Service - a Need for the Arts. A Need for Theatre - a Mission Statement
We believe that the arts must be seen as a service and not a luxury - a basic need. A mature and civilised society recognises, through its education system and its societal provision, the inalienable right of every woman, man and child to be present at, or participate in - regardless of race, colour or creed - events and activities that enrich their lives and release the full creative and expressive potential that exists in each and everyone of us. The National Theatre of Wales will be dedicated to realising that potential.
We believe that the arts are an instrument of social change, leading to a better understanding of the way we live our lives, examining the problems of the present, finding solutions for the future.
We believe that the arts are concomitant with the economic and cultural health of the nation.
We believe that the theatre is a natural debating platform for the community, reflecting its aspirations, angers, hopes, despairs. We believe that theatre is all-inclusive and should be accessible to everyone.
We believe that theatre begins and ends with education.
