Anti-Racism Statement
A Message from the Board of Directors of the Alumnae Theatre Company June 2020
We at Alumnae Theatre unequivocally condemn anti-Black racism and prejudice in all its forms.
We recognize that racism threatens the safety of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) not only in the United States but also here in Canada. We understand that this statement means little if not accompanied by action based on careful listening and consultation with BIPOC theatre artists and community leaders, and deep and honest reflection about what needs to change in the Alumnae Theatre Company culture in order for us to respond in ways that will lead to positive change and growth.
We acknowledge that initiatives undertaken in the past have not as yet resulted in a community that includes and supports BIPOC experiences in a fulsome way. We commit ourselves to develop concrete actions that encourage inclusivity throughout the organization.
During the month of July we will canvass our members and others to invite active participation and suggestions on how best to move forward.
