BUILDING BETTER (PLAY) WORLDS
Empowering a community of anti-racist theater-makers.
Our workshop provides a step-by-step exploration of best practices to infuse anti-racism into all stages of the theater-making process, from season selection to post-mortem.
We carefully tailor each workshop to meet your needs whether you are undergraduate or graduate students, faculty, professional theater-makers or professional administrators.
Through our workshop, you’ll learn the tools to center humanity and create inclusive spaces to better reflect the world we share.
