The Rackoff Collective
The Rackoff Collective Mission Statement
The Rackoff Collective is a living tribute to the enduring legacy of the late Lou Rackoff, a visionary director, professor, and friend who dedicated his life to the art of theatre. Our collective is committed to nurturing the creative spirit, providing a dynamic space that encourages artistic exploration, and serving as a catalyst for artistic excellence in both our craft and our community. We believe in the power of collaboration and seek to amplify the voices of emerging theatre artists, supporting their artistic and professional development through community, mentorship, and research.
At the heart of our collective is a dedication to creating a supportive, inclusive community that champions diversity, pushes creative boundaries, and fearlessly addresses societal issues through the transformative power of storytelling.
As a beacon for innovation and progression in the theatre arts, The Rackoff Collective is dedicated to both sharing and challenging ideas, birthing daring and impactful art and fostering an environment where the next generation of theatre artists can thrive.
