Since 1997, Mt. Hood Repertory Theatre Company has been bringing professional theatre performances to East Multnomah County. Over the years, we have gained a reputation for high-quality professional productions of both classic and contemporary plays. The Rep’s mainstay is our annual American Classics Theatre Festival, which features classic plays often not seen in the Portland-area. Past American Classic Festivals have included A Thurbur Carnival, The Man Who Came To Dinner, Huckleberry Finn, Inherit the Wind, and Born Yesterday. All these large cast plays used a mix of professionals, students, and members of the community.

The American Classics Theatre Festival also features more intimate plays such as Talley’s Folly, An Evening with H.L. Mencken, Clarence Darrow, and even a Native American play - Walking On Turtle Island.

Another popular Festival offering is our return to the golden era of radio with our Sunday Night By The Philco series.

During the regular fall-through-spring season, The Rep produces a variety of smaller productions and our annual Readers Theatre series. Readers Theatre has become an especially popular Monday night event in East County, allowing area residents the chance to experience great theatrical works in a small, intimate venue featuring some of the best actors the Portland-area has to offer.

As its mission, Mt. Hood Repertory Theatre Company is dedicated to providing professional theatre and educational opportunities in East Multnomah County. The President's vision for the coming years is to build on Mt. Hood Rep's position as a stable and respected theatre company in East County. The Board of Directors has set goals to foster community support, increase audiences, and further The Rep’s financial stability.

Our Town
In its alliance with Mt. Hood Community College, Mt. Hood Rep acts on its commitment to train the next generation of theatre professionals by utilizing both student actors and technicians during The Rep’s summer American Classics Theatre Festival. This arrangement allows MHCC students the opportunity to work side-by-side with professional actors, designers and technicians and to learn from their experience and methods. Given that all Festival peformances take place in the college theatres, students are able to learn from these guest artists in surroundings they are comfortable in.

During the 2004 regular season, The Rep and MHCC Theatre Arts Department co-produced Fahrenheit 451 in conjunction with Multnomah County Library’s community reading project, Everybody Reads. We hope to continue to foster such cooperative efforts, with MHCC and other institutions, in the future.

Mt. Hood Rep intends to be a driving force in the building of a thriving cultural community in East Multnomah County. The Board of Directors is comprised of business and theatre professionals from East County, and The Rep is a member of the Gresham Area Chamber of Commerce and the Portland Area Theatre Alliance.
