OUR MISSION
is to preserve and promote the legacy of challenging live performance on the Outer Cape.  Our artists double as our administrators to ensure an operation that prioritizes the artistic process.  We do great shows at affordable prices for the right reason.

HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT
In addition to creating the kind of work that critics call "mesmerizing" and our parents think is "really great, honey", the Harbor offers some other unique features: 

WE HAVE SERIOUS FUN

The Harbor boasts a growing and adventurous community genuinely hungry for challenging performance.  We honor and advance that appetite by choosing material that is aesthetically diverse and rooted in authenticity.  From highly theatrical world premieres to distilled re-imaginings of modern classics, our plays inspire reflection, spark discussion, and get the blood pumping.  We put the work first and embrace risk.

WE'RE ARTIST RUN

The Harbor Stage Company stands out as one of the only completely Artist-Run professional theaters in the nation.  Our artists are as likely to be found in a rehearsal as they are selling tickets at the box office or planning our latest fundraiser.  We sweep, we poster, we balance the books - the result is a comprehensively informed ensemble that measures success in terms of artistic ideals instead of the bottom line.  

OUR TICKETS ARE AFFORDABLE

Our low-price tickets and Pay-What-You-Can First Fridays make it possible for everyone on the Cape to experience first-rate live performance on a regular basis.  Our Affordable Ticket Initiative has helped us revitalize the Harbor's audience and share work we believe in with a growing, engaged community.  We're investing in the future of the American theater by bringing theater to more Americans.
