About/Mission

Our Mission & Core Purpose

​Super Bad Theater Company is a 501(c)(3) non-profit performing arts organization that seeks to build a greater capacity for joy, levity, knowledge, and enrichment in our communities, one story at a time. Not simply invested in providing high-quality theater programming that entertains diverse audiences, we believe in performances that connect us to the universal human condition. 

Centering Black Voices & Inclusive Storytelling

 Always centering Black voices and experiences, Super Bad Theater Company strives to advance equity through the deliberate staging and featuring of Black and Diverse thinking playwrights and artists and the curation of theater experiences that offer new ways of telling humanistic stories. 

​

Super Bad Theater Company sees itself as a hub of collective imagining and authentic truth-telling, fostering a radical space for the creation, production, and presentation of dynamic, empowering, and unbounded stories that reflect the rich culture of our many communities to audiences in the San Francisco Bay Area. With inclusion, education, and the celebration of difference at the heart of our work, we ultimately find purpose in building resiliency and competency for racial equity, inviting audiences to witness and participate in live theatre that sparks social awareness and stimulates our collective understanding of ourselves and others.

​

Community, Youth & Mentorship

Reaching beyond the main stage, we remain committed to giving back through transformative education and dedicated mentorship. Super Bad Theater Company seeks to engage local youth in civic participation through theater arts while supporting artists of color with professional and creative development opportunities designed to create the next wave of socially impactful original works.
