JULY VAULT ACADEMY
Looking Ahead Together with Bag&Baggage
Dear Bag&Baggage friends and family,
With Nik’s departure, we are taking thoughtful, intentional steps to ensure stability and momentum in our artistic work. We’re pleased to share that the Board of Directors has approved the creation of a new Artistic Leadership Committee, chaired by Bag&Baggage’s founder, Scott Palmer, and including B&B Board Chair Bianca McCarthy (former Executive Director of Echo Theatre Company), B&B Company Manager Ephriam Harnsberger, and B&B Resident Artist Signe Larsen.
ANNOUNCING OUR 2025-2026 season
Every history teacher I’ve ever had told me that we must look to the past to build a better future. This season at Bag&Baggage, we take that adage to heart with four incredible stories that explore our own history as an organization, confront the darker chapters of our nation’s past, and challenge us to consider who has the right to tell whose story—and in what ways.
about bag&baggage
Mission Statement
Bag&Baggage's mission is to unpack the stories we carry with us — from anecdotal to epic; from original to classic — using these as the groundwork to create transformative theatrical experiences that explore our shared humanity.
Vision Statement
Bag&Baggage strives to weave creative expression into the fabric of the civic life of Hillsboro through conscious relationship-building; to use our art to intentionally challenge the tenets of white supremacy; and to heal the wounds in our community through the cultivation of empathy and listening. We use this vision as our guide as we actively work towards our collective liberation.
Engage
Bag&Baggage is committed to making professional live theatre accessible and affordable to all members of our community. We have implemented a wide range of programs to ensure that everyone who wants to attend one of our shows can do so comfortably.
