Vision Statement: The Denton Community Theatre is a progressive and vital part of the cultural life of the North Texas Region. Our vision is for a growing, creative theatre company closely in touch with the needs and desires of its various audiences. In addition to its traditional range of first rate plays and musicals, DCT will expand its offerings to include:

   1. Progressive/mature/innovative subject matter and original productions;
   2. A fun and exciting Children's Theatre Program; and,
   3. An interesting and imaginative educational outreach program.

As a result, DCT"s audience will grow to encompass all of the adults, youth and children of the North Texas area.

Underpinning our increased range of offerings, DCT will aggressively pursue an active program of continuous quality improvement, resulting in an enhanced image and improved recognition locally, regionally, and nationally. An intense marketing and communications program will ensure that everyone in the North Texas Region is aware of, and encouraged to participate in, DCT's wonderful productions and programs.

As the scope and thrust of our theatre company grows our facilities will be renewed and revitalized, and where appropriate, additional facilities will be acquired. To accomplish our enlarged vision, DCT will continue to rely upon a wide range of well-trained volunteers as a foundation for its efforts led by a staff of effective, dedicated professionals. Finally, new sources of permanent funding will be developed and available prior to launching any new initiatives.
