Resources for Diversity and Inclusion
At TCT, we strive to do our part by infusing our productions and programming with messages of acceptance, kindness, friendship, inclusion, respect, and diversity and aim to represent the diversity of our community in our staff, on our Board, on our stage, and in our audiences. We applaud YOU: our constituents who want to do the same for future generations. Here are some resources to use as a place to begin this journey with the young artists in your life.
