DEI STATEMENT

UPTOWN PLAYERS DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION STATEMENT

Our goal is to end discrimination against the LGBTQIA+ community and to combat
racial injustice

At Uptown Players, we strive to promote a safe space where people from all backgrounds, experiences, and lifestyles can enjoy theatre and feel represented onstage. It is our number one priority to share and encourage equity, diversity, and inclusion within our organization and surrounding community. As an influential participant within the DFW theatre scene, Uptown Players recognizes the importance of continuing to build an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment to ensure nothing less than a completely positive and welcoming experience for our community.

The producers, staff, and volunteers of Uptown Players all recognize the crucial power of the performing arts to create worlds onstage where people of all backgrounds and experiences can be represented and included in the stories we tell. We also honor the immense power that diversity holds and will support this through the art created by our artists and within our organization.
