We commit to encouraging all members of our program whether teachers, students, staff, partners and others to confront racism, build inclusive cultures and create opportunities which advance BIPOC artists and professionals in our industry, whether backstage, onstage or in the executive suite. We are committed to a safe and inclusive space that reflects our community’s vibrant diversity and where everyone is welcomed.
