Our Mission
We believe that art is inherently political. We strive to create accessible works that inspire social justice change in our communities and remove traditional elitist barriers in theatre.
We recognize that theatre is systemically racist and we hold ourselves accountable to focus on the future of theatre - internally, and in our productions, to provide diversity and inclusion.
How are we working on Accessibilty?
-
Virtual Reality Shows
Wirth the aid of a 360 degree camera, our shows, and the best seat in the house, are accessible to anyone with connection to the internet. Anyone from anywhere in the world, regardless of physical ability, can watch our shows.
-
Class
“Class” is a program started in our 2021-22 season, it is focused on peer presentations of non-euro centric theatre. Anyone can present on any Theatrical topic they want - Theories, practitioners, concepts, plays etc. The sessions are free for anyone to join and focused on creating a dialogue around theatre that wasn’t taught in traditional Academia.
-
Education
Systematic change isn’t fixed from just hiring more diversity, it’s solved from creating more interest at a foundational level. We have created Pocket Explanations - a series focused on explaining peripheral theatre positions to high school students. The idea for Pocket Explanations is to help students explore theatre opportunities without having to spend extended time in the industry.
