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:
“The mission of the United States is one of benevolent assimilation.”
—William McKinley (1843–1901)
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
“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)
