Equity Statement
Mesquite Arts Theatre values everyone’s story. As an organization, we will intentionally create a welcoming environment through a long-term approach to inclusion and diversity. We commit ourselves to actively seeking out perspectives that are not our own, encouraging learning, growth, and cultural awareness, engaging community conversations, and embracing conflict as a force for change.
We strive to be an equitable, diverse, antiracist, and inclusive organization that is accessible to all, and maintain an organizational culture that:
Values a diverse staff, board, and volunteer community that understands and actively supports inclusion
Produces shows that engage and reflect the stories of the community, where diverse casts and crews can thrive
Provides educational opportunities that are culturally responsive and student-focused
Boldly prioritizes equity, diversity, and inclusion in all activities, policies and practices, communications, and operations.
