Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Suzart’s main objective is to provide a welcoming space for all to learn and grow in theatre.  We acknowledge and celebrate our differences, including age, ability, gender, class, race, religion, language, and culture. These differences are what sparks the true artist in all of us: our imagination, our creativity, and our humanity. 

To this end, we strive to foster an environment of inclusion by addressing behaviours which are bullying, rejecting, aggressive, cancelling and/or which are otherwise inappropriate or misaligned with Suzart’s values.  These are key elements of our mission to provide affordable entertainment for the whole family, while building a friendly, safe space to do so.
