Since 1996, Theatre Oxford has been run by passionate volunteers who are dedicated to making theatre welcoming, accessible and enjoyable. We believe in the special ability of theater to bring diverse people together for enrichment and fun.

Behind the curtain and on stage, you’ll find accomplished professionals, dedicated hobbyists and brave newbies all working together to produce shows to make audiences think, laugh, cry, and celebrate. Theatre Oxford is committed to developing new works, producing known works, and creating community through and around theatre arts. Come play with us! We look forward to seeing in the audience, backstage or onstage.

Mission

Theatre Oxford provides opportunities for the Oxford, University, and Lafayette County communities to create and engage with theater and other performance arts.

Vision

Theatre Oxford believes in the power of drama and storytelling to unite and elevate a community. Our vision is to provide performing arts exposure to the adults, youth, and children of the Oxford, University of Mississippi, and greater Lafayette County areas. We seek to collaborate with a diverse range of professionals and amateurs to offer opportunities to learn, create, and perform. As such, we develop educational workshops, production experiences, and performance opportunities using both original and previously published plays, storytelling, readings, poetry, and other dramatizations. We seek to engage the leadership, creativity, and cultural potential of all communities in our area.
