DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION STATEMENT
Parallel Exit is committed to being a diverse, equitable, and inclusive performing arts organization. This commitment requires thoughtful action in order to cultivate a workplace culture that is open, transparent, safe, and dedicated to long lasting equitable employment practices.
This statement is a living document; one that Parallel Exit will revisit, update, and expand upon in the coming days, months, and years.
Parallel Exit creates live performances for audiences of all ages. We aim to be a joyful place for all. Our work is created through artistic collaboration, and this spirit extends to how we interact with our community and audience members. Our goal is to make all feel welcome and heard.
Over the past several seasons, Parallel Exit has made a distinct effort to increase the diversity represented in our board, staff, and creative teams, reaching beyond our immediate network in order to include a wider representation of cultures, viewpoints, and backgrounds within our organization.
Parallel Exit has always fostered a family environment; one of belonging and comradery. We are committed to expanding that family, providing a safe and welcoming atmosphere for all. Especially with our commitment to making high caliber experiences accessible to families, Parallel Exit seeks to represent authentically the diverse audiences that we serve.
Land acknowledgement: Parallel Exit’s office is on the land of the Munsee Lenape people. We celebrate this place called Lenapehoking and honor the Indigenous People who first loved and stewarded this Land, and those who are still here caring for it.
