Top Hat 8 Repertory is dedicated to contributing to a more united community by offering theatrical opportunities for all people in an environment that focuses on nurturing and supporting artists to express and be themselves.

Top Hat 8 Repertory aspires to be an inclusive home for people of all ages and backgrounds to share the theatre experience by nurturing curiosity and collaboration and fostering kind and compassionate individuals who make positive contributions to the community and world at large.

We believe that:

• Theatre has the power to transform, heal, and make a difference in the world.

• Theatre builds self-confidence, teaches empathy, builds lifelong friendships, and encourages teamwork; important skills, regardless of an individual’s future path.

• Theatre education, beginning at a young age, supports the development of social, emotional, and academic excellence.

• It is important to provide performance opportunities for both age-specific groups and all ages combined.

• A safe, non-judgmental, inclusive environment is critical to everyone’s growth, and differences should be celebrated.

• It is our responsibility to work to bring theatre to those who may not have access.

• It is important to support fellow theatre companies and artists in our community.

• Theatre should be fun.

• We should always lead with kindness.

• Everyone who walks through our doors is a part of our TH8R family.
