STRAWDOG THEATRE COMPANY

The Strawdog Board of Directors is a group of individuals who share a passion for live theatre. We

believe that this art-form in is a vital part of healthy communities. We provide the means and guidance

for bringing it to the City of Chicago through the work of this Ensemble and Company. We identify

strongly with Strawdog’s core values as a lens through which we help make this art happen.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion has always been a priority, but we have been slow in

fully realizing it in our Company. The current environment is providing us the space and

time to focus on this work. We have some recent success with an increase in Ensemble

diversity but can do more. While we weren’t the first theatre company to engage in this

work, we want to be at the front.
