The Fulton Theatre Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) Committee recognizes the presence of social injustice, and systemic racism in the theatre and arts. We are committed to amplifying and celebrating the voices and perspectives of BIPOC in our arts community and beyond. We will build relationships and foster inclusiveness by taking an intersectional approach to diversifying our programming, artists, staff, volunteers, and community stakeholders.
