Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Bristol Riverside Theater is proud to be a theatre at the center of a diverse community and to center that community in our work. We produce and present shows by and about diverse people. We include audiences of different backgrounds, abilities, and means. We work hard to equitably distribute these programs.

Our job is to interpret, celebrate, reflect, and question who we are, who we were, and who we should become. All of us.

We offer impactful programs demonstrating our values. Below is an alphabetical partial list of recent outward facing programs that fall under the banner of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are proud to offer these, and other programs.
