American Theater Northwest and its members stand on the side of justice; we condemn racism in all its forms and reaffirm that black lives matter. We stand with our fellow black and brown artists and audiences, and proudly align ourselves with those who choose to use the medium of theater to bring empathy, understanding, action, and change.
