Mission
Flashpoint Theatre Company is dedicated to expanding cultural arts awareness in the greater Philadelphia area through the production of socially provocative and emotionally resonant works of theatre, through the development of educational programming within the community, and through collaboration with new and emerging voices from all artistic disciplines.

Description
Flashpoint Theatre Company was founded in 2003 by five graduates of the Theatre Arts program at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. Flashpoint produces 3 mainstage productions at the Second Stage at the Adrienne each year; past productions have included the Philadelphia premieres of works by Keith Bunin, Caryl Churchill, Gina Gionfriddo, Neil LaBute, Wendy MacLeod, and local playwright Tim Appignani. Since its inaugural season, Flashpoint has also produced David Sedaris's The Santaland Diaries as a holiday treat for the Philadelphia community. Flashpoint expanded its staff in 2006 to take on an Outreach Coordinator; Flashpoint's outreach efforts have included providing tickets to disadvantaged groups through ArtReach and collecting donations for the Renfrew Center Foundation, Covenant House, PhilAbundance, and the American Red Cross. Flashpoint is currently in the process of developing a 5-year plan to help the company expand through its 10th season in Philadelphia in 2013.
