Meet the team of The Garage Theatre! Thank you for your support and solidarity on our “You Are Welcome Here” Safe Spaces Alliance pledge!

“The Garage Theatre is a collaborative ensemble that strives to create a diverse body of work by taking artistic risks while uncovering social & human truths. We cannot do so without also acknowledging & honoring the diversity in the people who come together to create and witness it. We are dedicated to providing access to independent, non-commercial theatre to audiences of all ages, genders, orientations, cultures, & backgrounds and are proud to provide that same accessibility and welcoming space to new & returning company members, production teams, performers, et al.

We unequivocally denounce harm against any and all marginalized groups both inside and outside of our performance space. In our efforts toward collective accountability, we have taken the pledge to be a certified Safe Space through the City of Long Beach’s Safe Spaces Alliance and are dedicated to learning how we can be better allies for our LGBTQ+ community.

We proudly sponsor company members to attend courses in becoming consent-forward artists and encourage all members to attend anti-bias training. Our work toward diversity, inclusion, equity and access will be ongoing and imperfect. Mistakes will be made as we navigate this living document, correcting ourselves with grace and learning from any missteps along the way.”
