Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion

Theatre in the Mountains is committed to cultivating an inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated and all people feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to fully participate. We believe the arts have the power to bring people together across differences, promote empathy and understanding, and inspire positive social change.

Our theater strives to ensure equity and access for people of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, ages, national origins, socioeconomic backgrounds, religions, and other diverse identities. We are dedicated to amplifying historically marginalized voices and perspectives on our stage and behind the scenes through our casting, season selection, and hiring practices.

Theatre in the Mountains rejects discrimination in all its forms and makes a conscious effort to counter unconscious bias. We foster a culture of inclusivity where everyone can feel safe, respected, valued, and heard. Our policies, practices, and programs aim to break down barriers and promote full engagement and leadership opportunities for people from diverse walks of life.

Storytelling has the power to expand our worldview. By making space for and learning from diverse narratives, experiences, and forms of creative expression, we can grow individually and collectively. Our theater is committed to representation, cultural competency, and ongoing education so that we may cultivate empathy and understanding across differences. We pledge to listen, learn, and take action to advance justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our organization and community.
