C O M | 9 7 for more than 30 years. at mission officially says eater Macon is to "... explore the human condition and celebrate the endurance and durability of the human spirit by producing the best of classic, modern and original dramatic works for teen and adult audiences." "My philosophy is we're storytellers," Frazier said. "Second, we have a duty to move and inform audiences. To me, that's still teaching. Most would say I work very hard and expect a lot from others, but I hope I'm also known for respecting others while pushing them to be more than they dreamed they could be, just as many have done for me." As eatre Macon moves forward, Frazier said he's proud of the work those involved in his first season have done and of those who made eatre Macon what it is. He said he's proud of the community role the theater and Crisp played in bringing entertaining and innovative theater to Middle Georgia, as well as being one of the first entities to relocate downtown and pioneer a renaissance there. He said eatre Macon's future challenges are not so different than that of any business or enterprise, and he's optimistic the theater will thrive. "I believe the biggest way the community can support us is to come and see a show; be entertained. Be challenged and be delighted all in one evening. We have great support in the business community that helps us offset some costs and I hope that continues, but really – just come see a show. Get in on the magic."
