Abstract
In Fall 2018, ISU Theatre adopted a new mission focusing on empowering citizen artistry and promoting equity, diversity, inclusion, and representation. These goals have significantly impacted every aspect of our program, including: curriculum, space, recruitment, class structure, course outcomes, season selection, marketing, theatre processes, staff hires, community collaborations, campus partnerships, and more. Join this team of faculty and students as we share our challenges, successes, and ongoing experiments in making ISU Theatre more welcoming, inclusive, equitable, and representative.
