State of BIPOC Theatre | HowlRound Theatre Commons

Join ArtsBoston’s Network for Arts Administrators of Color (NAAC) and some of Boston’s most talented theatre trailblazers of color for a compelling conversation around the state of BIPOC-led theatre.
What does it take in 2026 to head a theatre organization built around marginalized communities? How do you build an audience around a diaspora while keeping a welcoming environment for everyone? How do you maintain funding during cuts to DEI-centered programming? What do arts administrators, emerging, and seasoned in the theatre field, need to know? What has changed in the work, and what are we envisioning for the future?
Hear this and more from leaders from Front Porch Arts Collective, Chuang Stage, Teatro Chelsea, and The Theater Offensive on Tuesday 19 May 2026, livestreaming from Deane Hall at the Calderwood.
