Our Commitment
To Our Beloved Community,
The murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others have left us outraged, distraught, and motivated to act. We cannot remain silent as we witness, once again, the systemic and pervasive disease that is white supremacy take another black life.
As a primarily white organization that has historically produced plays written by and centered around primarily white individuals, we must do better. We must hold ourselves accountable. We must put our programming, our voices, and our money where our hearts are.
We promise to do the difficult work. We promise to step up. We promise to use our privilege as a means of action. We promise that it starts now, and does not end, not ever.
In Solidarity,
Normal Ave
