Cause
Gallery 7 Theatre is a non-profit, charitable theatre company based in Abbotsford, B.C. that presents five mainstage productions a year, along with several smaller second stage events. We engage the community with high quality theatre that inspires hope, reconciliation, and redemption by exploring the spiritual, relational, and social aspects of life.
We aspire to be a catalyst and focal point for artistic growth, expression and engagement in the Fraser Valley, and a place of refuge, inspiration and learning for all in a safe, respectful, inclusive, and positive environment.
Funds raised will further our mission by establishing an artist fund to help volunteer community performers and crew members cover the out-of-pocket costs associated with participating in productions.
