History
At its inception, Chromolume Theatre’s primary mission was to present the American musical on an intimate level in an entertaining, intellectually stimulating and emotionally satisfying way.
With growth and change, Chromolume Theatre’s mission has evolved with a new dedication to present Broadway’s forgotten gems and off-Broadway’s undiscovered treasures, shining a light on productions that deserve a second look.
Chromolume Theatre’s mission is also to provide opportunity for artists to shine who have not had such an opportunity in the past, as well as a dedication to diverse and multi-cultural casts and crews.
