Express Theatre-Northwest is a professional educational touring theatre company of actors and support people, of whom at least 51 percent are persons with disabilities and/or their family members. Our goal is to provide thought provoking theatre experiences, with the full intent of helping to overcome the societal stigmas of mental illnesses and other disabilities.

ET-NW was established in 1997 as a nonprofit, nonunion professional educational touring theatre company. We present workshops, original productions, published productions and produce educational videos. Currently touring is limited to the Northwestern part of United States. Company Goals: 1. To provide training and employment in the professional theatre to people with disabilities in a complete integrated setting with non-disabled actors. 2. To produce a regular season of a least three plays a season in one location. 3. To produce at least one play a season that specifically deals with the topic of what it is like living with or having a disability. 4. To provide regular production and projects for educational outreach in schools, colleges and Universities. 5. To provide a youth theatre company that will give talented children with disabilities a chance to gain professional training in a complete integrated setting with non-disabled actors.
