Lets Turn Over a New Leaf
Together.
Our Mission
"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."

Proud Co-Sponsor of: Yes, Ann!
New Leaf Players is proud to be co-sponsoring the Yes, Ann Improv Festival, happening June 24–27 in Ann Arbor.
Yes, Ann is a huge celebration of comedy, creativity, and community, bringing together performers, teams, workshops, and audiences for four days of improv and live performance. For us, this is exactly the kind of event we want to support.
New Leaf was built on the idea that theatre should feel connected to the community around it. Supporting Yes, Ann gives us a chance to show up for other artists, build relationships, and be part of something that helps the local arts scene keep growing.
We are excited to support the festival, celebrate the people making it happen, and continue building a stronger creative community here in Southeast Michigan.
Event Dates: June 24–27
Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan
