Jaisey Bates seeks to engage audiences in nontraditional theater experiences which transcend cultural lines and speak with their hearts to what it means to be human.

“Writing for me is a journey of faith through lands of thought and heart and being. When I walk deeper into the living weave of a story, the story walks deeper into me. Every story’s journey adds some new hue, perspective, dimension to the way I walk this earth. I carry my stories with me and my stories carry me. For me, writing is. Words have lives of their own. Words and patterns of words endure and breathe beyond the map of me and my life. Or at least that is my hope for my stories – that they survive and speak to others (other words, stories, people). I have not raised a child or found a cure for cancer or a way to encourage mutual tolerance and compassion and the seeds of peace in war-torn lands. But with these words, these stories, I hope to offer you and those as-yet-unborn a bright gift and legacy of my love. May we prove worthy.”
