Outspoken:
A Listening Project
"IDEAs is committed to giving voice and space to artists and all who are touched by the medium of theatre.
This series features artists and designers who have been marginalized by White American Theatre, and speak
out against the industry that has oppressed them. First hand accounts of abusive practices and policies reveal
the need for reforms to all aspects of the theatre-making process. The voices of these outspoken artists call for
action while manifesting their desire for thoughtful change to come from this current moment of deep reflection."

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. R.acism, 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.
