Mission Statement
Theatre on Consignment is a venue for plays that are experimental, cutting edge or infrequently produced. We are committed to showcasing exciting local acting talent, technicians and playwrights interested in ensemble collaboration. Our goal as an arts organization is to expose an untapped audience to alternative theatrical experiences in the Wichita community.



About Theatre on Consignment
Theatre On Consignment was originally formed in January 2002 by several members of Films On Consignment, a for-profit filmmaking collective that has produced award-winning independent films in Wichita since 1995. The founding members hoped to use this new company to create a unique theatre-going experience by presenting thought-provoking, under-produced, and potentially controversial material in an up-close and personal venue. Since it’s conception, Theatre on Consignment has grown into an organization with a board of directors made up of not only actors, but artists, technicians and business people alike. The group became a not-for-profit organization in May of 2003, shortly before initiating the first outreach to other local artists. The first annual "Poormans Theatre Festival" began showcasing original plays by local playwrights performed and directed by Wichita talent. Theatre on Consignment has become a credible organization in the Wichita Arts Community despite our low budget beginnings. In 2004, partly due to recognition by the Mary Jane Teall awards committee, we have been approached by many members of Wichita’s theater community that seek to participate in what we are doing as a company. While making a name for ourselves artistically, we have also received praise from others by creating a good business model for an independent theatre company and staying within our approved budget per season. Since its inception, Theatre On Consignment has maintained a breakneck pace and set a new standard for theatrical excellence in Wichita.
