Stories on Stage defines inclusiveness as striving to broadly represent the values and perspectives of our diverse community through our program content and by continuing to make our programming accessible to people of diverse cultures and ethnicities.
We recognize that cultural diversity exists in multiple dimensions, including differences among people that are not immediately visible. While we cannot heal all divisions and inequities in society, our performances create unique opportunities for cross-cultural understanding and exchange. The more diverse the audience we can bring to these experiences, the better our goal will be achieved.
Our programs present literary material (mostly short stories) from a deliberately wide range of authors, performed on stage by actors of varied backgrounds for audiences of diverse people to hear and feel together. We believe this creates an experience that fosters cultural inclusiveness at an essential, emotional level.
We kick off our 2008-09 season Sept. 7 at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. In the meantime, we invite you to experience something of our programming and organization through a recent clip, which highlights our perspective on inclusiveness.
