About ESP
 

MISSION

The Endangered Species Theatre Project’s mission is to bring enjoyment and understanding through live theatre that proactively focuses on diverse representation. We do this by: a) giving voice to forgotten plays and playwrights, b) increasing representation of women over 40 and other underrepresented artists on the stage, and c) making vital connections between the past and the present.

​Our goal is to engage our artists and our community in the universal human experience.

​

We promise to:

Hire at least 50% women identified artists/artisans,

Educate ourselves on anti-racism and be actively involved in color-aware and anti-racist casting, opening roles of all genders to the trans community, and to actively work to be as inclusive as possible.

At ESP, we believe that art can provide a way for engaged citizens to better understand and more competently navigate difficult times such as these. We will continue to tell the stories that need to be told as a part of an ongoing struggle to make this society all that it can and should be.
