We pledge that our cohort of Artists in Residence will continue to include and hold space for Black Artists and Artists of Color.
-
We pledge that creative teams for Main Stage productions will always include multiple BIPOC Artists.

We pledge to always pay our artists and never ask for work for free.
-
Leadership and staff will be pursuing anti-racist training to combat the privilege and biases that have shaped us, in order to better understand our complicity in the racial inequities of our industry and our society.
