| Description: | On June 8, 2020 We See You White American Theatre released our letter to the entire theatre industry from over 300 black, indigenous and people of color signatories. On July 8, 2020 WSYWAT released "The BIPOC Demands for White American Theatre" — a living document created by hundreds of BIPOC theatre workers through 25 committees. Our change.org petition for a more equitable American theatre has over 104,500 signatures of support for the movement. In the 7 months since the release of our demands, there have been considerable actions in the industry toward equity, anti-racism, and the dismantling of white supremacy in the American theatre. This report contains a partial list of predominantly white institutions across the country, in varying sizes — theatres, training programs, talent and casting organizations, PR offices, consortiums, etc. They are responding to our demands and/or publicly acknowledging the labor by WSYWAT and as a result are in various stages of their anti-racism journey. This list may be incomplete as we are not able to fully canvass the whole industry. This file includes the demands and principles promulgated in 2020. |
