2017-18 heralds The Human Race Theatre Company's 31st Season of bringing the beauty, drama and excitement of live professional theatre to Dayton and southwestern Ohio, serving a population numbering nearly one million. Our Loft Season provides audiences with award-winning, cutting edge dramas, American classics and regional and world premieres. Our New Works projects expand the repertoire of enthusiastic audiences with brand new plays and musicals. And our education programming touches thousands of children, while engagement programs address the cultural needs of challenged individuals throughout the Miami Valley.

After humble beginnings, when productions were mounted in whatever space was available to accommodate our budding troupe of artists and actors with their small audiences, we now enjoy a growing reputation and national recognition for excellence in theatre. From our home in the Metropolitan Arts Center in downtown Dayton, The Human Race Theatre Company provides ever-increasing audiences with a myriad of entertaining and enlightening performances. Most works are now presented in the intimate settings of the 212-seat Loft Theatre and 54-seat Philips Creativity Center, while we are able to utilize the larger and more elaborate venue of the historic Victoria Theatre from time to time.

Our Youth Training Programs, which include classes, summer camps, residencies and tours, allow us to connect with over 30,000 students and teachers annually throughout Dayton and southwestern Ohio, both in and out of classrooms. In addition, we have now expanded our onsite educational programming even further with the Caryl D. Philips Creativity Center.

We have earned our place as a vital part of Dayton's cultural community by offering an alternative to mainstream theatre with thought provoking productions that challenge and enlighten audiences. As our name suggests, we present universal themes that explore the human condition and startle us all into a renewed awareness of ourselves. As "Dayton's Official Professional Theatre Company," it is a mission we take very seriously as we address the educational and cultural needs of those we serve.
