"From the day I began to work with Grab Bag Theater, I was surrounded by a community that wasn't just supportive and talented, but had incredible commitment to theatre and the arts. Grab Bag allowed me to explore how I perform and how I interact with others in a safe environment. I admire the company for how it constantly strives to provide a place for students to grow and learn, as well as exercise their skills. I cannot wait to see how Grab Bag Theater continues to blossom."
- Ria Cuellar-Koh, Grab Bag member since 2019

"It’s an outlet for students to explore the other sides of theater, business, direction, and production. It is a place for leadership and creative growth. It lives on respect and dreams and ambition and it is built on the shoulders of kids who will change the world. It is a company, it is a community, it is a family. It is Grab Bag Theater."
