it's time for a change

"Shakespeare says that the job of theatre is to 'hold a mirror upon nature,' but if we hold that mirror and it does not reflect what is on and off stage, then we must ask deeper questions as to WHY." Tré Cotten, MFA

Many theatre companies have recently voiced their solidarity with the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The next step is to commit to long-lasting and measurable change. 

Below, please see a few examples of what your pledges could look like. Each pledge below is just a single example of the sort of pledges you can choose to make. It is important that your company reflects on past behavior before committing to change for the future. 

We want to help you stay accountable to your statements of solidarity and your pledges. 

Do something. 

Hold yourself accountable. 

Stand by your community with solidarity and love.
