About Us

Freehold is a center for the practice of theatre.

Our Mission: Freehold engages artists of all levels in training and experimentation so that they may become more innovative and hearfelt in generating theatre that has a lasting impact on the community we serve.

Our Vision: We at Freehold believe that theatre should inspire people to embrace the full range of human experience and connect us all more deeply to ourselves and to each other. In order, for theatre to accomplish this it must be truthful, illuminate the unseen, and articulate the unspoken. To realize this potential, there must be a place dedicated to research and experimentation in training and performance for working artists, inspired novices, and willing audiences.

To realize this vision, we have built an artistic community dedicated to research and experimentation in training and performance. Freehold’s environment actively encourages diversity of age, race, economics, age and physical ability.

Our community is defined by our two distinct program areas: our Studio and our Theatre Lab.

Our Studio provides a place for actors, from inspired novices to working professionals, to train. Freehold engages an exclusive faculty of independent professional artists who give back to the theatre community through their teaching. Our student population is diverse in age, income, and background.

Our Theatre Lab provides a forum for accomplished artists to experiment by continually challenging themselves and their peers to develop their art outside commercial pressures.
