Mission, Vision & Values of DCP
OUR MISSION
Inspiring Community
Through Theatre
We believe live theatre is essential to a healthy community. Davidson Community Players brings that belief to life by programming stylistically diverse productions and creating a lifelong home for learning and making theatre, all by and for the people of Lake Norman and the North Charlotte region.
OUR VISION
Theatre as a Civic Pillar
DCP is determined to lead a region celebrated for its theatre scene. Families and artists will choose Davidson because it is a community that elevates the arts as essential, while longstanding residents will take pride in how their hometown has become an arts destination. An area not known as a tourist draw will stand as the epicenter of an American theatre pilgrimage.
Our Values
Nurturing Local Artists
Joy: Our rehearsal rooms and classes foster collaborative, positive environments so that all feel welcome.
Agility: With entertainment and arts landscapes always changing, we adapt our styles and approaches to meet the moment.
Quality: We believe that community theatres are capable of the highest caliber of arts production, and we strive to attain these levels.
Responsibility: As a character-driven art form, theatre must tell stories about a vast spectrum of people, provide a forum for the critical issues of our time, and be an active member of a socially responsible community.
