Northlight Theatre is proud of creating and maintaining equitable practices. Values aligning with equity, diversity, and inclusion have been at the forefront of our mission since our inception. Practices such as salary transparency, our Artistic Fellowship Program, and opportunities for audience discourse on challenging topics have been in place for many years. 

Beginning in 2018, Northlight founded our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee to formalize and streamline our EDI practices. This committee, including both internal and external stakeholders, evaluates internal systems and takes actionable steps toward lasting institutional change. In 2020, we re-committed to doing the ongoing, internal, antiracist work our organization needs to become a better ally. We are committed to a continuous cycle of evaluation, implementation, and accountability.

Below is a timeline of selected events and trainings that have been implemented since the committee was formed.
