Our mission and vision
Primary Colours Theatre provides a variety of high quality, passionate theatrical experiences to students and their community. We seek to add a youthful flair to the shows we produce while keeping our focus on the basic human act of storytelling and our productions no more expensive than the average student can afford. We encourage students to create their own unique opportunities as well as opening performance, planning, and production opportunities normally not available to high school and college students.
