ANTI-RACISM & GAMUT THEATRE

Gamut Theatre tells classic stories because we've found that even if a story was written hundreds of years ago, it can still resonate, still feel immediate and urgent. And here we are, as a nation and a world, watching the oldest story of all - systemic, institutionalized racism - laid bare before us, once again. 

Gamut strives to foster an inclusive environment for everyone who walks through our doors: our audiences, our students and their families, the staff and artists who work with us. We also understand that it's easy for a statement like that to become a vague platitude. We are committed to the work that it takes. We're committed to listening and learning. And we are committed to an actionable plan as we move forward.

We grieve those who have been senselessly lost to violence at the hands of those who are sworn to protect us. We believe that Black Lives Matter, and we stand in defiance of systemic racism. We believe that Black Voices Matter, and should be amplified. We believe that Black Stories Matter, and should be told. We stand in solidarity with the Black community in Harrisburg and beyond, and with Black artists, colleagues and collaborators.
