Committed to Equity & Justice

We at Gather Repertory Theatre acknowledge that we live and work on the unceded ancestral lands of the Tualatin Kalapuya people. We recognize with gratitude the land itself and those who have been its stewards throughout the generations. This statement is merely a verbal act of reverence for indigenous communities but it does not replace the further work of honoring the legacy of the land and its people.

As a company, we recognize our complicity in unjust systems. We are committed to evolving our understanding of equity, inclusion, and antiracism, as well as respecting and uplifting people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, particularly BIPOC artists. We recognize that being a person of color in this community is particularly strenuous and dangerous.

We also recognize this statement’s parallels present for members of the LGBTQIA+ community, particularly in the danger and strenuous nature of being LGBTQIA+ in this community. It is integral to our mission to uplift, celebrate, and give platform to a wide array of voices.
