The mission of Farmers Alley Theatre is to create a professional product that entertains while inspiring, educating, and communicating with audiences to reflect on the diverse human experience.  

our vision

• To establish ourselves as the leading small independent theatre organization in the region.
• To promote arts education with private, close-quartered training in a multitude of disciplines.
• To dedicate our venue as a place for home-grown artists to return to Kalamazoo in order to share their talent with us.

our values

Not Just Entertainment
    Although we aim to please our audience, it is equally important to us to uphold the artistic integrity of the works performed.

A Provider of Equal Opportunity
     It is imperative that everyone has access to the theatre at a reasonable price.

A Promoter of Arts Education
     In addition to the works presented, we encourage the development of training the young actor/singer by providing intense
     and private education by our experienced staff.
