Dogtown Dance Theatre and its programs are operated by Dogtown Arts Foundation, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization. Dogtown Arts Foundation exists to cultivate, promote, foster, sponsor, develop, and encourage understanding of and public interest in the fields of theatre, dance and the arts.
If the Center Stage complex in downtown Richmond serves as a Broadway away from New York City, then Dogtown Dance Theatre promises an equally critical factor of a city’s creative health: a thriving Off-Broadway scene where independent artists and small companies can afford the time and space to create and present their work in a facility designed with them in mind.
