We believe: Theatre has the power to change hearts and minds In theatre that provokes conversations both in the audience and the artistic community In being collaborative members of the theatre community Cultivating a diverse talent pool is essential to the evolution of the theatre arts In creating a safe space for artists to be who they are and build who they want to be

Description

It started with thirty women in an apartment common room reading from scripts and singing to a lone keyboard. After an extremely successful fundraising campaign, including a sold-out cabaret, a "What if" conversation turned into the nation’s first fully realized all-female production of 1776 in a 300 seat house at Magnusson Park.

After repeatedly hearing, "After the first five minutes, I forgot you all were women!", we knew we had something special. If an audience could suspend its disbelief while watching a woman play Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin, what else could we attempt?

Reboot strives to find where context breaks the story, and we've continued to do so. Over the past four seasons, we've made gender-blind casting a mainstay and opened the conversation in Seattle to more opportunities to those who are marginalized and seek representation. We continue to push the boundaries by highlighting social causes that are indicated in our productions. We work within the community to continue the dialogue into how theatre should change ALL hearts and minds, not just the status quo.
