BareStage uses theatre to make things happen. Specifically, BareStage's performances explore solutions to problems currently facing Missouri State University and larger Southwest Missouri communities. Of course, we cannot devise solutions to community problems without getting community members involved. So, BareStage uses interactive improvisation, as well as interviews with a diverse sampling of experts and ordinary people, to generate theatre that asks hard questions and investigates possible answers. Issues that the group has explored in the past include domestic violence; mental illness; drug and alcohol abuse; and sexual harrassment. The group has performed at a variety of places on and off campus including Missouri State University's School of Social Work; Springfield's Victim Center; and Ava Middle School. BareStage welcomes performers and non-performers of all ages and backgrounds who are invested in the places they live and interested in using theatre as a force for communication and change.
