MISSION

Now in our 13th Season, we are dedicated to providing opportunities for women theater artists,
developing quality theatrical work by women and other underrepresented artists, and ensuring that
the community as a whole is aware of the opportunity to hear these new voices and see exciting,
original performances. 

Six Figures is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit theatre company founded in 1990 by six women who found
that their experiences and sensibilities were underrepresented in the canon of commercial theatre,
and committed themselves to developing plays and supporting voices that might not otherwise
be heard. In 1999, the company became a part of the West End Theatre Consortium where it
continues to make its artistic home.
