MANDATE:

TotoToo Theatre’s mandate is to stage live theatre performances of plays written by Canadian playwrights for the national capital region’s gay and lesbian community.  We select plays that may not otherwise be produced in Ottawa by other community and professional theatre companies because of their gay and/or lesbian themes and/or content.

MISSION/VISION:

TotoToo Theatre is guided by our mandate and produces three plays per season. Our mission/vision consists of the following objectives:

To provide an opportunity for volunteers from within the National Capital region community who are looking for the opportunity to learn aspects of theatre production and theatre marketing. 
To audition actors who may or may not have had previous experience in theatre, and to challenge gay/lesbian stereotypes in terms of how characters are developed and presented.
To invite the gay and lesbian community to see representations of their lives and experiences on stage that reflect their experiences and issues.
To educate and expose gay and lesbian issues to the wider theatre-going audience and to attract new people to experience theatre.
To educate and create awareness among the broader theatre producing community about gay/lesbian stereotyping and to demonstrate a wider range of gay/lesbian character development and representation within the theatre arts.
