We stand in solidarity with the Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) theatre community and commit to actions that will help to combat racism and bias in America and address the injustices that have too long affected and compromised the advancements and contributions of BIPOC artists and artists with disabilities. 

We recognize that we must take an active role to help bring about significant change. We must combat complacency, reflect on and strengthen our commitments, and explore how we may learn and grow in order to achieve racial parity and dismantle systematic racism and bias. 

We are committed to partnering with artists, patrons and organizations who share our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility to increase our engagement with BIPOC artists and artists with disabilities. 

We are committed to producing topical plays and interactive programs that reflect people of all ethnic and racial backgrounds, religious groups, gender identities, ages, abilities, disabilities and sexual orientations.  

We are committed to creating and maintaining an inclusive and accessible environment with equitable treatment for all.
