| RISE Theatre, a program of Maestra Music co-founded by the Miranda Family Fund and Lin-Manuel Miranda, will host the first-ever RISE Summit, an event for theatre changemakers. Miranda is set to make the opening remarks, and Eisa Davis will serve as the keynote speaker. The event will take place on Tues., Sept. 24, at the New York Library for the Performing Arts starting at 9:30 a.m. The summit runs until 5:30 p.m., connecting a diverse group of artists, industry leaders, and advocates committed to creating a more equitable and inclusive theater community. The Summit will feature forums and panels led by RISE Network Partners, including the Asian American Performers Action Coalition, ACCESS Broadway NY, Design Action, Dramatists Guild Foundation, Theatre Advocacy Project, and Theatre Producers of Color. The conversations will cover topics such as pay equity, hiring practices and disparities, fostering and building equitable work spaces for diverse artists, and collaborative community engagement. Thanks to sponsors, the event is free, but if you want to make a $20 donation, you can. To get tickets or more info, see link below. |
