Mission: The mission of cinnabar arts is to enlighten, educate and entertain the community by presenting a wide range of works in theater, music and opera repertory. The size of the theater (capacity of 120) lends itself to productions that are intimate thereby insuring a unique and memorable experience for audience members. We present works that are relevant to contemporary life and challenging to professional artists and audience members alike. The young repertory remains a vibrant part of cinnabar arts as we train young people in the performing arts and help them make lasting and meaningful connections between performing arts and their daily lives.
