Inspired by our friends at The Livingston Theatre Company and The College Avenue Players we want to use our platform as a way to spread awareness for the Black Lives Matter movement. Racism is unacceptable. Racism in the arts in unacceptable.

We mourn the lives of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and all of the other black lives that were lost at the hands of police brutality.

We stand with those working to achieve equality. We stand with the Black Lives Matter Movement. We strongly encourage our community members to take action, donate, spread awareness, and speak up against injustice. Silence is not an option.

We have the privilege to use our platform to spread awareness. Below we have listed resources of organizations to donate to and ways to help:
