8/17/2022 7:16pm


The Founding Members of Black Theatre United (BTU) have announced they have engaged Christina Alexander of Alexander Consulting Group to create a digital Unconscious Bias and Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility & Belonging (EDIAB) training program for use by the entire theatrical industry.  This digital training resource fulfills a core principle and joint commitment of the historic New Deal For Broadway, a first of its kind document developed by BTU in collaboration with key industry leaders across five working groups: theatre owners, producers, unions, creatives and casting directors. The New Deal For Broadway outlines both short-term and long-term reforms in the areas of artistic culture, policies and cultural training, pipeline initiatives, audience development and community engagement. The Unconscious Bias and EDIAB training program is scheduled to be finalized and released for industry use in Spring 2023 on a date to be announced soon. For more information visit www.BlackTheatreUnited.com.
