Our Values
Little Dipper Theatre Co. is a semi-professional theatre company based in Langley, BC. We produce high-quality plays that push our artists to NEW LIMITS, SPARK conversation and DELIGHT our audiences.
We prioritize CANADIAN PLAYS, NEW WORKS, WOMEN’S STORIES, and CLASSIC SCRIPTS.
Our Values
We aim to create HIGH QUALITY ART by choosing pieces that challenge our artists to expand their skills and challenge our audiences with deep themes and questions. We welcome new, emerging and established artists to our stage. What unites us is the understanding that there is no greater joy for a theatre artist than making the highest quality theatre that they can.
We work to RESPECT our artists’ time and protect their emotional and physical safety. Creating a structured, welcoming and safe rehearsal space where our artists can feel free to take creative risks is paramount to us. We want to signal respect by paying honorariums to all our artists, including actors.
We value our local COMMUNITY. We are passionate about contributing to the theatre scene in Langley and the Fraser Valley. We are proud of where we live and want to create exciting opportunities for local artists. We believe that the arts are an essential part of local culture and that theatre has a way of building community, increasing generosity and empathy, and is a platform for important stories.
Why “Little Dipper”?
The Little Dipper constellation is also known as Ursa Minor, or the Little Bear. This constellation contains Polaris—the North Star—used throughout history for navigation. We see the Little Bear as the symbol of the artist and the North Star as a reminder to keep exploring new horizons and pushing to grow our craft. The Grizzly Bear is an iconic example of BC wildlife, and we are a proudly British Columbian company.
