Strawberry Theatre Workshop is a workplace of professionals, earning professional wages and bringing professional standards to every aspect of creation.  We are not fringe in any sense of the word.  We are an essential and permanent neighborhood institution.  With the gravity of professional status, Strawshop can legitimately engage in dialogue with our professional neighbors as equal partners in the issues of common concern.
Since our begining, 60% of all Strawshop production expenses have gone into artist contracts. None of these people have been paid what they deserve, but the company has remained dedicated to providing balanced wages as it grows and expands.
