Inclusion Consultants and Why Every Show Needs One

Inclusive Stages

Other industries have people who can help employees and employers navigate conflict or difficult conversations, so why doesn’t the theater industry? Inclusion consultants (or EDI consultants) aren’t new, but it’s a newer role in theaters and the arts. Today, I’m sharing more about my work in this industry, how I got here, and what I’m doing to further this work and help even more people! Inclusive Stages isn’t just the name of this podcast—it’s a brand, a framework, and a movement. And it’s here to be the help we’ve needed for so long in performance and rehearsal spaces. Together, we’re going to change the industry—one stage at a time!

In this episode, you will:

1. Discover what Inclusive Stages is all about, what to expect, and who it’s for.
2. Learn questions to ask to be more inclusive in theater spaces.
3. Uncover why inclusion consultants are so needed in theater and other creative spaces.
