Back to B&B: BOLD
Bag&Baggage has always been a little bold.
It was bold to believe Hillsboro could have its own professional theatre company. It was bold to take classical stories, turn them on their heads, and perform them in ways audiences had never seen before. And honestly, it was pretty bold to believe people would show up for all of it.
But you did.
For over 20 years, B&B has taken big swings. We’ve reimagined Shakespeare, challenged expectations, made people laugh, and occasionally made them wonder, “What exactly did I just watch?”
That boldness is part of who we are—and it’s something we never want to lose.
Going Back to B&B means recommitting ourselves to creating ambitious, professional theatre right here in Hillsboro. It means trusting our artists, listening to our community, and continuing to take the kinds of creative risks that make live theatre exciting.
We’ve set a goal to raise $30,000 by October 31, and we need your help to get there.
Every gift helps us hire professional artists, create excellent productions, and keep bold theatre thriving in Hillsboro and Washington County.
Will you help us be Bold?

The Fourth Annual Hillsboro Film Festival: Submissions Now Open!
Submissions are now open for the Fourth Annual Hillsboro Film Festival, a co-production with Dodge Media Productions and Bag&Baggage!
The Fourth Annual Hillsboro Film Festival will take place April 2-4, 2027, at the Vault Theater.
Submissions will remain open from July 2026 through the very final deadline: January 1, 2027.
All films accepted will be short films; we are looking for films 30 minutes or shorter, in all genres, in the following categories: Narrative, Documentary, Animation, Music Video, and Experimental. Films do not have to be made locally (we've had international submissions in years past), and there are no premiere requirements (it's OK if your film has already screened elsewhere).
EVERYONE is encouraged to submit! Our festival purposefully creates space for voices often underrepresented in the media landscape. Embracing filmmakers of all ages and experience levels, from students to seasoned professionals, The Hillsboro Film Festival encourages individuals to express themselves authentically.
We're also looking for festival volunteers, including folks to be on the 2027 Hillsboro Film Festival Screening Committee — if you're interested in being a part of the film selection process (or helping with any other aspect of the festival), fill out this form!
