The American Century Theater's mission is to promote 20th century theater as a vital part of our cultural dialog.

• To revive worthy plays and musicals at risk of being forgotten.
• To restore, repair and reconstruct works, when missing or incomplete.
• To translate important American works from other media to the stage.
• To commission new works that spotlight the intellectual, historical, political and cultural diversity of 20th century America.
• To share our efforts with interested scholars, teachers, and performers worldwide.
• To inspire other companies to produce these works by proving they can garner critical praise and engage audiences.
• To practice the art and business of theater in a courageous, ethical and humane fashion.
