Our Pledge

We have made a cultural pledge aligning and strengthening our commitment to new company values and artistic vision.

Theatre is for everyone.

We are committed to sharing stories with our audience that reflect the diversity of the human experience.

We believe that producing the highest quality theatre is only possible when all artists – regardless of race, sexuality, faith, ability, age or gender – are given the same opportunities to create and to flourish.

We are taking a whole organizational approach to cultural safety and representation. This means we will not only work to recommendations set by Creative Australia and Creative Victoria, but take that commitment even further.

We will consult with staff through committees to create and implement meaningful policies that will shape our recruitment, creative practice, company culture and audience development. We will also focus on inclusion and access through our Disability Action Plan and Reconciliation Action Plan, and our leading industry programs such as Future Creatives, Future Directors Initiative, the Deadly Creatives and other programs to be announced.

And each year from Season 2023 on we will hold ourselves accountable and report on these commitments in our annual reports, ensuring we see greater diversity in our artists and across our workforce.
