Our mission is to stimulate thought that leads to action; to entertain, to educate, and to promote live and audio theatre as exciting, viable art forms.

VTP has elected to exist as a “virtual theatre” so that it may bring theatre to any part of the globe, by collaborating with artists and theatres round the world. We do not support physical space, but rather find the space appropriate to the artists and the work to be produced.

We are committed to creating opportunities for actors, playwrights, directors, designers and technicians to work in service of theatre in general and new play development in particular.

We provide educational opportunities in the form of apprenticeships and stipends to young people studying to enter into one or more aspects of professional theatre.

We also sponsor an "Adopt-An-Artist" program which provides project support to individual writers, actors, and designers pursuing a specific projects.
