The “Reimagining Equitable Productions” (REP) Workshop was created to assist theater companies - both Broadway and beyond - working to address racial equity within rehearsal rooms, working spaces, and productions. 

In response to the issues identified during its Broadway for Black Lives Matter Again Forum and by We See You WAT, Broadway Advocacy Coalition created this new process inspired by its Theater of Change course alongside the Center for Institutional Change at Columbia Law School. The program leads companies through a process of understanding internal patterns of inequity, developing new ways of collaborating, and generating individualized and collective plans for meeting those aspirations and currently unmet needs. 

Rooted in decades of research on culture change and systemic racism, the REP program leverages the powerful combination of storytelling and policy to foster environments that enable the full participation of people of different races, identities, and backgrounds. Throughout the multi-day workshop, cast, creatives, management, and producers come together to engage in a process of deepening relationships, developing an awareness of inequitable systems and their histories, envisioning alternative possibilities, and identifying systems of accountability.
