Cultural Affairs Bureau director Lung Ying-tai hopes that the Red House Theater will help revive the oral arts tradition, and save the performance arts often found at temples and markets, such as folk storytelling, singing, acrobatics, and even medicine show entertainment, gathering it all together to share the limelight under one roof.
文化局長龍應台則希望紅樓劇場可以讓傳統說唱藝術恢復生命，讓過去活躍在廟前、市集的民間說唱或雜技，甚至江湖郎中的賣藥吆喝，成為聚光燈的藝術演出。
