Mission
Mirror Stage uses the power of story and art to challenge assumptions, bias and prejudice, increasing equity and inclusion while encouraging more thoughtful reflection on today’s issues.
Vision
Mirror Stage believes the power of story holds the key to bringing people together in imagining and embodying a better future. We nurture unique artistic voices through arts programs and events that play it smart without playing it safe. With the goal of increasing empathy and social justice, Mirror Stage connects people more deeply to perspectives and experiences other than their own, while amplifying historically excluded stories, voices, and faces—bringing us to a place of common understanding. Mirror Stage gets people talking, as well as thinking.
