About Bag&Baggage
A Note from Artistic Director Nik Whitcomb!
Canon (noun): a collection or list of sacred books accepted as genuine.
Â
For two decades we have explored the bounds of the theatrical canon and taken new looks at classic tales told by some of the world's most prolific writers. As we head into the next two decades as Hillsboro's resident professional theatre company we seek to be a part of the expansion of this canon and introduce our community (and the world) to instant classics by voices they may not be familiar with. Our 24/25 season is jam-packed with fresh stories that will provoke thought, create connections, and leave our audiences with a deepened curiosity about the world around them. Come along with us as we solve mysteries, watch birds, meet magical beings, and engage with recognizable characters in entirely new ways!
Â
This season we celebrate 20 years of gathering the community of Hillsboro through storytelling. Thank you for being a part of our story. We hope you will continue to support us as we write the next chapter. We guarantee you will enjoy the new friends you meet along the ride!

-Nik Whitcomb, Artistic Director
We Have a Responsibility to Our Community and to Ourselves...
Bag&Baggage’s mission is to crack open and explore the classics of world literature through innovative and provocative theatrical productions, connecting these great works to the people in our diverse community in a way that affirms our shared humanity. As the only professional performing arts organization in Hillsboro, we believe we have a responsibility to connect our work to the lives and experiences of the people who call our community home.
