Mission
Bluecoats creates performing arts experiences that inspire, educate, and promote excellence as we enrich the lives of young people, and those who encounter their art.
Vision
A Bluecoats Community enriched by a spectrum of programming, ranging from a student’s first experience with the performing arts to our world-renowned drum corps. Creativity, integrity, and personal development are emphasized in our constant pursuit of excellence.
Values

We pursue excellence in everything we do, knowing that through that pursuit we learn the focus, resilience, and determination required to succeed at every level.

We value innovation, originality, and new ideas as we create cutting edge art that inspires awe, passion, and joy.

We continuously strive to create a diverse, equitable artistic space that celebrates individual expression while fostering a safe environment.

Responsibility, trustworthiness, and fairness are vital in all things - to our young people, amongst our staff, and in the creation of our art.
-
The achievement of creative, educational, and moral excellence is only possible when we all work together - from field to office to stands - to create a better, more cohesive whole.

Participant Safety is at The Heart of What we Do
