Humanity is not just white. Theatre, and those who get to make it, should not be just white, or even mostly white. The more diverse our theatre makers are (in every corner of our employee and Board operations, including the actors on our stages), the better shot we have at creating art that explores all facets of humanity. The more diverse our theatre makers are, the better shot we have at reaching the most diverse audiences possible because a wider audience can see themselves in the plays. The more diverse our audiences are, the broader our reach. And a wider reach grows our audiences and generates more money. Doing what’s right can and should be great business. And doing what’s right can also change the world.
