The mission of Theatre South Playhouse is to nurture, challenge, and empower its artists and audience in order to inspire and educate the Southwest Orlando community, and to create a safe space for artists of all backgrounds to gather with the common goal of teaching the values of mutual respect for all. Theatre South Playhouse describes itself as a professional theater, academic conservatory, and community center for kids, teens, and adults, and it is home to many local Orlando artists. It has a committed diversity, equity, and inclusion mission. Theatre South Playhouse is funded in part by sponsors and partners, brings programming and training to underserved families, creates opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs, and aims to help create positive change in the world.
