Grant Overview

Connecticut's theater landscape is characterized by a lack of inclusive performance opportunities for underrepresented groups, with 70% of theater productions featuring predominantly white casts. This lack of diversity not only affects the theater community but also limits the opportunities for underrepresented groups to share their stories and experiences. What are the capacity gaps in Connecticut's theater landscape? The state's theater infrastructure is largely dominated by traditional theater companies, leaving limited opportunities for emerging and underrepresented voices. The lack of diversity in Connecticut's theater landscape is also reflected in the state's workforce composition, with 80% of theater professionals identifying as white. How does funding address it? This grant initiative will support inclusive theater projects that amplify marginalized voices and provide performance opportunities for underrepresented groups. By removing barriers to access, the initiative aims to foster creative expression and cultural dialogue. ## Connecticut's Theater Infrastructure The state's theater infrastructure is characterized by a lack of diversity, with 70% of theater productions featuring predominantly white casts.
