Expanding Opportunities
Over the next three years, we plan to increase the impact of our outreach work by:

- Exploring opportunities to integrate the dramatic arts into new communities, including refugee camps and college classrooms
Sustaining Impact
Finally, The Theatre Lab is planning for long-term impact that ensures the success of the organization through staff transitions, economic changes, and evolving infrastructure needs. For us, sustainable impact means:
