Mission
The mission of the Dallas Theatre League was to unite, strengthen and promote the theatre community in the Greater Dallas Area, working on behalf of its conviction that the performing arts are an essential public good, critical to a healthy and truly democratic society, and invaluable as a source of personal enrichment and growth.
The Dallas Area is one of the largest theatre centers in the United States. The region boasts more emerging theatre companies per capita than almost any other metropolitan area in the U.S., is home to one of the country's oldest LORT Level Theatres, and the country’s second oldest summer Shakespeare Festival. Some 200 new plays are premiered here each year, some going on to wider success. DTL was founded in 1994 to serve and celebrate this vital artistic community.

Famous quotes containing the word mission:
“We never can tell how our lives may work to the account of the general good, and we are not wise enough to know if we have fulfilled our mission or not.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
“The mission is too important to allow you to jeopardize it.”
—Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
“Not in vain is Ireland pouring itself all over the earth. Divine Providence has a mission for her children to fulfill; though a mission unrecognized by political economists. There is ever a moral balance preserved in the universe, like the vibrations of the pendulum. The Irish, with their glowing hearts and reverent credulity, are needed in this cold age of intellect and skepticism.”
—Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
