LAND ACKNOWLEDMENT
Night Fire Theatre Company creates their work on the ancestral, traditional and contemporary land of the Dakota people, for whom the land holds historical, spiritual, and political significance. We recognize and honor the Dakota people, ancestors, and descendants, as well as the land itself, and all the sovereign Native nations in Minnesota and beyond. We recognize that this acknowledgement itself is not enough, and only serves as a first step towards decolonization.
OUR VALUES
CORE VALUES
We believe that theatre is an essential space and medium for communities to connect with each other and engage with different viewpoints and ideas. Now more than ever it is essential that we continue to build and protect unity, storytelling, and collaboration among people of all backgrounds & views.
COMMUNITY ENGAGMENT AND ACCESSIBILITY
We are committed to creating an accessible space. We ensure that finances will not stop anyone from engaging with theatre by setting aside free tickets at the door for every production. We seek to learn from our community and will adapt and grow as a company as we learn what is needed by both the artists that work with us and our audiences.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
We are committed to creating a welcoming, creative and inclusive space. We have demonstrated our commitment to gender fluid casting creating more roles for female, non-binary and transgender actors.
We actively cast with an eye to body and age diversity.
We have fostered and continue to develop relationships with members of the BIPOC community and seek to diversify our leadership community.
Additionally, we work with emerging artists and young professionals cast and crew to expose them to professional theatre, ensuring that they get to work with talented seasoned professionals who excel in teaching and mentoring.
SUSTAINABILITY
We are committed to fostering a sustainable approach to creating productions. The majority of the materials we use for both costumes and sets are either donated, recycled or made from found materials. We also rent as much as possible to support other artists within our community.
ENTERTAIN, INSPIRE & UPLIFT
Ultimately our goal is to create highly entertaining theatre that reinvents the classics, tackles new works and developments. We want our audiences inspired, thrilled and uplifted by engaging with our productions.
