Diversity Statement

Our Commitment to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion for All

The Growing Stage seeks to ensure that our theatre is a home for all, where all feel welcome and one that reflects the community, we have the privilege to serve. This includes artist and patron, student and parent, staff and Board regardless of: race, socioeconomic class, color, national origin, religion, diverse perspectives, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, neurological or physical ability, veteran status, legal status, or education level. 

We actively strive to support economic accessibility by creating low-cost, high-quality arts programming for all families and school programming.

We create arts programming and services mindful of equity, diversity, and inclusion and its impact on our audiences, our artists and staff, and on our Board. We do this by increasing cast diversity by expanding auditions; developing local and national partnerships with diverse organizations; and looking for talent outside the traditional theatre arena.

We strive to provide our audiences and artists with stories that encourage empathy, open awareness, and make connections to new thoughts, concepts, and ideals. Together, we make an impact when equity, diversity and inclusion are actively woven within our art and our mission in all aspects of our work. The Growing Stage – The Children’s Theatre of New Jersey is committed to this effort
