Who We Are

Rainbow Theater was established in 1993 with a mission to create unity, higher visibility, and understanding of the various cultures within our communities. By giving students an opportunity to experience and create multicultural productions, Rainbow Theater serves to enhance the cultural climate of the UCSC Campus and its surrounding community, encouraging the celebration of diversity. Our mission is to foster the spirit of unity by breaking down cultural walls, providing an outlet for creative talents of various ethnic groups, and focus on the concerns of our communities.
