Sustainable Theatre Project

Founded in 2009, Sustainable Theatre Project is a nonprofit collaborative ensemble with the mission to create entertaining, affordable and socially relevant theatre for the city of Austin, while maintaining the highest possible standards of sustainability as budget and all practical means allow. STP seeks to produce a wide diversity of theatrical genres steeped in fine-tuned dedication to quality and excellence. STP’s foundational belief is that environmentally sustainable practice creates potential for an extreme efficiency that in turn leads to organizational sustainability, offering greater pay to artists, increased production quality and lower ticket prices. STP seeks to address the wasteful habits of the theatre and works toward opening a new zero waste theatre venue for all the established and emerging theatre companies in Austin and their audiences to call home. We believe that a respect for the environment, the earth, our home, is the highest gesture of respect to the human being. We believe the vitality of the art of theatre can be strengthened and cemented by applying sustainable practices. Our commitment to artistic excellence is equal to our commitment to sustainable practices.
