We commit to making Crescent City Stage a welcoming, inclusive, and equitable community in which each artist, staff member, volunteer, and board member represents diverse points of view.  Our mission is to produce theatre that celebrates difference, provides opportunity, and instills a sense of belonging for all. 

Our priority is to create a safe space where all who enter are eager to engage, trust, and experiment. If our job as performers is to mirror the world we see, our stages must reflect those who stand beside us. The stories we tell and the artists who tell them are consciously chosen with a dedication to fostering a depth of experiences and identities. We challenge ourselves to confront privilege and examine bias so as to build a company where this learning is ongoing, dynamic, and purposeful.

Guided by this commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, we aim to deepen our understanding and appreciation for the work required to meaningfully combat racism, exclusion, and prejudice in all forms. We stand united in this charge. Our joy and power as a collective rest in the ability to collaborate professionally in an atmosphere where mutual respect, demonstrated integrity, and ethical action are the core principles of our culture and business.
