Raise the Curtain

Our Commitment to the Practice of Anti-Racism at Hartford Stage: We've been inspired by, supported by and called to action by our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) colleagues in the national theater scene and in our local community. We see you. We hear you. And, we see ourselves: a predominantly white institution in a city with a population that is majority Black and Latinx. We know that the steps we have made so far aren’t nearly enough. We are currently working on changes to our organization's culture, policies and practices that address these inequities and racial disparities. Up to this point, our work has been intentionally internal and reflective, prioritizing listening and learning in order to create long-lasting institutional and individual change. We know this work is never finished, that these commitments and pledges are living and evolving, growing in partnership and in practice. We do this to acknowledge the past, to transform in the present and to create a more equitable, creative tomorrow.
