What We Do

The Lotus Project builds community and inspires change by providing accessible, inclusive, and affirming theatre and creative experiences that explore the hardship and beauty of the human condition. Using the arts as a vehicle, we focus on self empowerment, relationship building, and community advocacy; and we connect through our shared humanity, with ourselves, each other, and the world.

At The Lotus Project, we seek to EMPOWER.

Life, no matter which path you walk along, is full of “murky waters.”
Our mission is to give both individuals and communities the tools to rise above the mud, while simultaneously embracing the lessons it teaches us.

With a focus on inclusion, relationship building, conflict resolution, community advocacy, and social justice, we offer community theatre productions and summer intensives for all ages, as well as corporate/educational workshops, in-school residencies, a pre-school tour, and individual coaching.  

From the mud, something beautiful can grow. From our challenges and struggles, we can grow. We'd love to have you join us on our journey to change the world, one human at a time.

Interesting Info
  • In our first year, we have served over 500 people, ages 5 - 80, in classes, camps, workshops, and productions
  • We believe the arts should be accessible to ALL so we include everyone who wants to participate, regardless of skill, experience, or background.
  • We create a nurturing, inclusive environment where process is more important than product, and participants feel seen, valued, and safe.
