"Community theater gives an outlet to people who are so passionate about theater as an art form, they are willing to spend all their free time, energy, and focus doing something simply because they love it. To bring joy to their audience, to be brave in a cruel climate, to bring life back behind their eyes. New Leaf was founded to create a warm, safe, collaborative community of people to create the art that fills their soul and sparks joy in the minds of themselves and their audience. Where we focus on fostering talent and ingenuity, and where trust and innovation are valued. Our operating practices include ethical casting decisions and clear communication from the beginning of the process to the final bow and beyond. For artists, we trust you'll find hope, friendship, and a place to take risks with a community  that is here to support you if you fall. For our audience, we hope you discover the sheer talent that lingers, hidden amongst your local community, ready to laugh, cry, and explore alongside you."
