  • We value the exploration of ideas without restriction.
  • We value diversity of culture, life experience, and thought.
  • We value safety and maintain a supportive environment for experimentation.

Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging:

The Black Box Theatre is proud to be under the advisement of Dr. Yvonne Terrell-Powell, the Vice President for the Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Division at Edmonds College. The Theatre strives to be a place for student belonging and fully supports Dr. Terrell-Powell's message:

"At Edmonds College, we are committed to student success for all and having a diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus community. As an institution, we are intentionally working to create an educational environment that embodies institutional transformation while actively advancing success for all students.

We endorse the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) Equity/Diversity vision statement that calls for us to lead with racial equity to 'maximize student potential and transform lives with a culture of belonging that advances racial, social, and economic justice in service to our diverse communities.'

As we move forward on this equity journey that includes our commitment to becoming an anti-racist institution, we acknowledge that as a community, we must come together to provide comprehensive learning opportunities, inclusive strategies and services that support our students’ educational goals, career aspirations, and success."
