An intentional act of joy, faith, and celebration. A radical place to unite around common concerns and plan collective direct action. Run by The Crew.

Furthermore, this was created for NN (non-native) individuals in the theatre who are looking to hire Native actors, directors, playwrights, etc. for specifically Indigenous opportunities, as well as for opportunities not specific to our people. Please share and add your information. There is also a section for organizations and opportunities, so theaters that are dedicated to Native works, have programming specifically for Native artists, and/or prioritize equity, diversity, and inclusion throughout their staff can be included.

Expand the Canon is an annual, curated list of excellent and producible classic plays by women and underrepresented genders. Both a celebration and a call to action, Expand the Canon demands space in the classical canon for more diverse playwrights, many of whom were underproduced or utterly un-produced in their lifetimes. We call upon our national and international theater community to expand its definition of classical theater and include these brilliant writers and artists in their production seasons, publications, classrooms, and beyond.

This consolidation of curated lists represents professionals of the global majority in US Theater. While the terms ‘global majority’ and ‘people of the global majority’ (PGM) are used interchangeably with People of Color (POC); Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC), we are specifically using this term to refer to all the communities that have been historically marginalized.

The main purpose of the PGM VO List is to present a large-scale showcase of global majority voices that is both representative and accessible to support increasing efforts for inclusion in the VO space. But it is also more than just a showcase. The PGM VO List is a community, a place of safety, and a foundation to which education, opportunities, and social awareness can take place. That is where the true purpose of this list lies and where the real work begins.
