Benevolent Theatre's mission is to provide a creative outlet for local artists, and aide in community outreach, growth, and education by bringing awareness to the organizations and individuals that have inspired these artistic works. All work showcased by the company will come from local writers and artists, and will address current social issues, and help develop programs that find solutions.

Benevolent Theatre will be hosting Auditions for our second production, Kander and Eb's KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN directed by company co-founder Jessica Harling.

KISS OF THE SPIDERWOMAN is a full length musical with 7 men, and 3 woman. It is about Molina, a homosexual window dresser, who lives in a fantasy world to flee the prison life, the torture, fear and humiliation, and his cellmate Valentin, a Marxist revolutionary.
