Commitment to Anti-Racism
We are resolved to explicitly and publicly affirm our identity as an anti-racist theater and cultural arts center.
We are resolved that our anti-racism commitment be reflected in the life and culture of the arts, our actions, programs, and educational outreach as we continue to learn about racism.
We acknowledge that racism can be unconscious or unintentional and that growing awareness of our personal biases is a life-long process. As an organization committed to anti-racism, we vow to purposefully identify, discuss, and challenge issues of race and color, and the impacts they have on our theater, its governance, and its people. We commit to challenging ourselves to understand and correct any inequities that may occur, and thereby gain a better understanding of ourselves during this purposeful process.
We resolve to develop and implement strategies that dismantle racism within all aspects of our organization, the performing arts, education, and our community. We firmly believe in the fruits of that commitment: A Bay Street Theatre where all people and perspectives are safe, valued, and heard.

Bay Street is committed to honoring, nurturing, and advancing such a community through the performing arts. Bay Street will promote diversity, equity and inclusion, and equal opportunity in all aspects of its programming, services, and organization. Inclusion means a commitment to making all members of the community feel welcome and comfortable at Bay Street Theater, as well as creating an environment where everyone’s ideas and viewpoints are heard and valued.
Bay Street believes that its core values are strengthened when all members have a voice and are encouraged to contribute. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are an active process that requires continuous commitment to promote healthy people, healthy communities, and the overall success of present and future generations.

- Actively building a community whose members have diverse cultures, backgrounds, and life experiences.
- Providing effective leadership in the development, coordination, implementation and assessment of a comprehensive array of programs and services to promote diversity and understanding of differences.
- Creating and maintaining opportunities for engagement, education, and discourse related to issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
- Identifying competencies that are essential to creating environments enriched with diverse views and people.
- Providing educational opportunities toward the development of socially responsible leaders who are willing to engage in the discourse and decision-making that can lead to transformational change toward learning, achievement, healthy people and healthy communities.
- Honoring freedom of expression, ideals of citizenry, and civility of discourse as fundamental to personal, professional, and organizational growth.
- Challenging and dismantling systemic oppression.
- Promoting social justice and diversity in all BST activities addressing issues related, but not limited to, race, ethnicity, culture, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ability, national origin, veteran status, social economic class, religion, and professional status; and coordinate educational resources and opportunities for its members.
