Mission

Fuse serves the underserved, particularly the LGBTQIA+ community. We believe that theatre can be a powerful force for good in the world and can help to create community and understanding between diverse groups. We believe that there should be no more stories about us, without us and we work to bring in diverse perspectives and backgrounds. We further believe that the most important part of art is the people involved and we work to maximize the funds that go directly to artists over material expenses.
