Our Mission
The Bridge Initiative uses theatre to amplify historically underrepresented voices and build community, leading with gender parity.

- Aspire to anti-racism and amplification of all marginalized populations
- Hire majority female/trans/non-binary creative teams
- Provide equitable compensation for all production positions on and offstage
- Engage with the media
- Partner with other theatre companies locally and nationally
- Host community conversations
- Empower emerging and established local artists from marginalized groups to attain leadership positions
- Center access for both artists and audience
- Remain open to unanticipated projects that widen our inclusivity and reach
