In this webinar, we will discuss what it means to be equity-minded and culturally competent in educational theatre spaces. The facilitator will provide tools for fostering a classroom and rehearsal environment that includes and supports everyone. Finally, we will explore how to work with content that is right for you that meaningfully connects with your student and community base.
