How we do things
Representation and Diversity
We believe that representation matters. Our productions will reflect the beautiful diversity of the world. We commit to casting actors, directors, writers, and production teams from various backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, abilities, and orientations. We will actively seek and provide opportunities for underrepresented artists in all aspects of theater production.
Authentic Storytelling
We will prioritize authentic and nuanced storytelling that respects the experiences and cultures of marginalized communities. Our creative teams will collaborate closely with these communities to ensure their narratives are told with respect, accuracy, and empathy. We will prioritize stories that are created by, for, and about these communities.
Accessibility
We are committed to making Broadway accessible to all. Our theaters will be physically and economically accessible, and we will employ strategies to ensure affordability, including discounted tickets and community engagement programs. We will also provide sign language interpreters, audio descriptions, and other accommodations to make our shows inclusive for all audiences.
Education and Outreach
We will engage in educational initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion within the theater industry. We will offer mentorship programs, internships, and workshops to empower emerging artists and professionals from marginalized backgrounds.
Advocacy and Allyship
We understand that advocacy and allyship are crucial in creating an inclusive Broadway. We will use our platform to advocate for policies that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in theater. We will actively support social justice movements and amplify the voices of those who have been historically marginalized.
Courage to Challenge Norms
We will have the courage to challenge the norms and stereotypes perpetuated in the theater world. We will create works that provoke thought, inspire action, and push the boundaries of what Broadway can be. We will fearlessly address issues of discrimination, inequality, and social justice through our art.
Transparency and Accountability
We will be transparent about our goals and progress. We invite feedback and criticism from our audiences, artists, and communities to hold us accountable for our commitments. We will continuously strive to improve and learn from our mistakes.
Collaboration
We recognize that change is a collective effort. We will collaborate with other theaters, artists, and organizations that share our vision for an inclusive Broadway. We are dedicated to creating a supportive community that encourages the growth of diverse voices.
