One of the underlying core values of Childsplay is the notion of ensemble. There is a resident group of theatre artists (our Associate Artists) who, in collaboration with the Artistic Director, are responsible for planning and creating the artistic products that illustrate Childsplay's mission. But these artists do not create in isolation. Everyone who works at Childsplay -- other artists, technicians, educators, administrators and trustees -- is a part of this resident ensemble. This mindset guides the way our work is created, the way it is marketed and the way it is delivered. Ideally, all of these individuals are housed under one roof, allowing for the free and open exchange of ideas and opinions.
