Inclusivity

InHouse Theatre believes that white supremacy is America's original sin, and we understand that it continues because of choices we make daily. White supremacy exists both in overt acts of violence and covert acts of pervasive silence. Every artistic act is a statement within a community; we therefore recognize that our theatre company has a responsibility to examine the narratives we uphold and the types of stories we choose to tell.

We pledge to our audiences, our colleagues and our community that:

- We will honor the principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in all our practices,

- We will support stories that challenge long-inherited narratives of identity and privilege, and

- We will continue to grow and do the necessary and urgent work of anti-racist self-examination that is the responsibility of every artist and every citizen in this country.

We are grateful for the example set by Playwrights Horizons and other cultural institutions in the arts community. We offer their growing list of resources to support the fight against racial injustice in the United States.

We also applaud our colleagues and their visions of how theatre can emerge from both this crisis and the global pandemic stronger, more dynamic and more inclusive. It is our intention to make site-specific theatre a means by which we can foster empathy and reach new audiences throughout our community.

To our audiences, our colleagues and our community: we love you and we stand with you.
