Mission Statement

To produce socially relevant theatrical pieces and to offer a safe haven for controversial or delicate subject matter to be explored on stage.

To provide opportunities for performers, designers, directors, playwrights, composers, choreographers, stage managers and other artists, in all stages of their careers, to express themselves in a risk-free environment.

To provide educational opportunities for all ages, including internships in all fields related to theatrical production.

To create a network of artists who will blend into a supportive, creative community.

Why a Red Door?

The concept of the red door appears in many different cultures’ oral and folk traditions.

It is believed that by entering a building with a red door one will be protected from various evils. The Celtic traditions believe in protection from the spirits, and biblical tales tell of safety from death.

By utilizing the red door as a theatre company, we are free to explore pieces important to us without fear or risk. In other words, the red door serves as a figurative theatrical sanctuary.

What have we been up to?

Still in its toddler stages, RDT has made an effort to produce on mainstage “professional” production in a beautiful off-Broadway theater under Actors’ Equity Association guidelines and one community service children’s performance, free of charge for the audience, in association with the Socrates Sculpture Park’s Halloween Harvest Festival.

As we continue to grow, we will add performance opportunities for both artists and audiences.
