Welcome! We are...
A grassroots outreach organization providing resources and accountability work toward inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility on stage.
Our Mission
We galvanize theater makers to take demonstrable action toward inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility.
Our Vision
We envision the performing arts regularly celebrating and amplifying the voices, stories, talents, and abilities of all people. We drive to see a rich landscape of these diverse talents in the boardroom, the producer’s seat, the director’s chair, the playwright’s pen, on the stage, in the audience, from the decision making process, and beyond.

Dream Cast!
Dream Cast is a cabaret for historically sidelined performers to take centerstage.
BIPOC artists and activists showcase -- oppressions and the worlds they live in.
Racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia and other bigotries have long locked the best roles into tiny cages, to be played only by white, thin, cis, straight, non-disabled people.
Theater must show us our complicated, beautiful, rich and diverse humanity. Black lives matter. Dreamers matter. Who tells a story matters.
We are our ancestors' wildest dreams come true.
