Mission

Golden Thread Productions is dedicated to theatre that explores Middle Eastern cultures and identities as represented throughout the globe.

Our mission is to build an organization that consistently produces the highest quality theatre about Middle Eastern culture and to establish a dynamic artistic community and an expanding audience. And to make the Middle East a regular part of the American Theatre Experience and make theatre a regular part of the Middle Eastern community’s cultural experience.

Vision

Through the transformative power of theatre Golden Thread Productions aims to create a world where our common experience as human beings supersedes our cultural and political differences.

Our Guiding Principles are:

• Develop and produce innovative works that intrigue, inquire and influence.
• Discover, develop and support Middle Eastern artists.
• Promote the rich texts and diverse performance styles of the Middle East.
• Seek and include the many talents of our diverse community in the production of socially conscious works with a progressive political sensibility.

In our vast imagination, the Middle East is defined not by geographical boundaries and political separations, but as the shared experience of the people, who throughout history have been touched by its tales, melodies and aromas. The Middle East lives inside us, as we redefine ourselves, we redefine the Middle East.

Theatre transcends boundaries,
it facilitates the search,
encouraging conversation,
where silence once prevailed.

Theatre mirrors our spirit,
it moves and challenges,
transforms fear to hope,
illuminating dreams into life.
