Theatreview's mission statement

Theatreview’s mission statement:

Theatreview's mission is to review professional performing arts throughout New Zealand, as constructive contributions to:

• the public for whom the work is made and on whose behalf the critics write

• the professional practitioners who create publicly available shows and need to see what they make reflected

• the ongoing conversation of which its reviews, comments and forum discussions are parts

• the historical record of performing arts practice in New Zealand – an ephemeral art form too easily forgotten if it is not written into the record.

Theatreview receives public funding to fulfil this mission.
