Overview

Mission

Reboot Theatre Company is dedicated to expanding its reach for more artists and audiences to be seen, heard and represented. Reboot Theatre Company continues to move the needle forward on storytelling by providing live theatre entertainment to the greater Seattle, Puget Sound, community. We test new interpretations of established theatre works through nontraditional casting, design, and methods yet to be discovered. We believe in changing hearts and minds, provoking conversations, cultivating diverse talent, and helping artists be who they are and become who they want to be through our productions

What it reported doing in 2025

Stage Programming: Reboot Theatre Company presented two stage productions in conjunction with our resident theatre, Theatre Off Jackson. In 2025, we presented two productions: 1. A bold reimagining of Lionel Bart's OLIVER!, exploring themes of social inequality, exploitation, and youthful rebellion in Victorian London's gritty underworld, and 2. An out-of-this-world production of Cole Porter's Anything Goes!, boldly go where no Reboot show has gone before. These productions involved 80 volunteers, including cast, band, crew, production and creative, and played to 1,700 patrons, approximately 240 of whom attended on free/complimentary tickets.

Operating model

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
