Mount Baker Theater: A Hub for LGBTQ+ Community and Entertainment

A Brief History of Mount Baker Theater's Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

Located in the heart of Bellingham, Washington, Mount Baker Theater has been a staple in the community for over 90 years. From its inception, the theater has been dedicated to providing a platform for diverse performances, including those that celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community.

In the early days, the theater was known for hosting various cultural events, concerts, and plays that showcased local talent. However, it wasn't until the 1990s that Mount Baker Theater made a conscious effort to prioritize inclusivity and diversity in its programming.

Today, the theater is proud to be a safe space for all members of the community, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality entertainment and artistic expression, and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and valued.

Mount Baker Theater's Ongoing Efforts to Support LGBTQ+ Community

At Mount Baker Theater, we believe that art has the power to bring people together and foster empathy and understanding. That's why we're committed to hosting events and performances that celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community.

Our theater is proud to be a member of the National Association of Black Theatre (NABT) and the League of Off-Broadway Theatres and Producers (LOBT), which allows us to stay up-to-date on the latest trends and best practices in diversity and inclusion.

We also partner with local organizations that support LGBTQ+ youth, providing them with a platform to share their stories and showcase their talents. By doing so, we aim to create a sense of belonging and validation for these young individuals who are often marginalized or overlooked.
