Mission
BoHo Theatre's mission is to create theatre that incorporates the arts as a whole — Art for art’s sake.
Our vision is to challenge convention through literary originality and eclectic expression while fostering an ever-evolving artistic environment in which people are inspired to learn, think, dream, and feel. To teach others and ourselves how to expand, create, and present art through theatre while reveling not only in the process, but also in the journey.
The Four Basic Principles of the Bohemian represent our core values:
- Truth – That which is at the core of all things good and soulful.
- Beauty – "The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance." -Aristotle
- Freedom – "Without freedom, no art; art lives only on the restraints it imposes on itself, and dies of all others." -Camus
- Love – Life in abundance comes only through great love.
History
Bohemian Theatre Ensemble began in the Fall of 2003 with four people sitting around a living room talking about what makes a good theatre company.
Organization, a solid business approach, respect for the actor and the creative process, coupled with an adherence to a spirited mission statement was (and still is) the basis for what the founders of BoHo Theatre created. A not-for-profit, 501 (c) 3 corporation was officially formed on November 4, 2003. After a year of business planning and fundraising, BoHo produced <Art by Yasmina Reza on the Bailiwick Studio stage. Since then, BoHo has produced musicals, classic works, original adaptations, and contemporary pieces. Our works have been well-received by both critics and audiences alike.
BoHo intends to keep growing with each production, and will continue to follow the initial guiding principles established in that first year of organization.
