At the cusp of a career in theatre, students have the opportunity to imagine and implement a supportive, joyous, and equitable theatre-making environment. This workshop prepares students for the theatre world as it is evolving now and empowers them to continually reshape the culture for the better.

In this workshop, you’ll explore best practices to meet students where they are in a changing social landscape and prepare them to advocate for themselves and for a more just and equitable industry. Together, we’ll develop tools for building inclusive and fulfilling departments, classrooms, and production processes.

As a theatre-maker, you have the power and responsibility to set the culture of a production and encourage institutions to change the status quo. From pitch through previews, we'll show you how to set up and implement practices that bring social justice, inclusion, healing, and continued learning to the forefront.

Anti-racist theatre making requires a transformed culture not only in the rehearsal hall, but everywhere from the boardroom to the scene shop. Take this opportunity to interrogate how your company can thrive as a more inviting workplace and incubator for the change you wish to see in the theatre and the world.
