ACTORS and PERFORMERS of COLOR—We need you!
Theatre is often viewed as a site of privilege and whiteness. The UR International Theatre Program acknowledges this and wants to be part of meaningful change. We know this is an ongoing project, and we want to build on the Theatre Program's record of and commitment to casting students from all communities in key roles over the course of its 34+ years. In addition to staging important works of theatre from BIPOC playwrights like Suzan-Lori Parks, Maria Irene Fornes, Carlyle Brown, Sam Chanse, and Jose Rivera, we're committed to diversifying our artistic staff and faculty. Every production has outstanding roles for all actors, including actors of color, but we still can do better!
Make a contribution to real change: show up and audition! You'll pave the way for more diverse offerings in the Theatre Program and greater enrichment for all at the 91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳!
