Just a reminder that we are having our final Theatre Org meeting on Wednesday, 4/21 at 12pm.
We have a couple of items that need attention:
1.) We should continue to discuss our dedication to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
We've been able to accomplish some smaller goals this academic year--inviting BIPOC guests to talk and work with us, and including a BIPOC playwright's work in our season.
It would be good to talk, however much, about how we could continue the work that we've begun this year.
In September, we'd discussed ASL (American Sign Language) and translation services. We talked about forging relationships with different student groups on campus. We'd also talked about re-imagining the Touring Theatre class to involve more intentional and considered outreach into area high schools.
Incorporating new practices into our programs, season, and operations is good -- but do we also want to develop a new Mission Statement to reflect this shift, and to work towards ensuring that this isn't a temporary fix that we've done in the past academic year?
Food for thought as the year ends and we look forward to gathering again, in person, in the Fall.
2.) Election of Officers for next year.
We may be able to wait on some positions until the Fall, but we cannot wait on identifying a new treasurer. There must be no gap in this coverage, since we'll need to sign for funding, etc. over the summer.
