Building on longstanding relationships with our schools and audiences, we seek to use theatre to connect deeper to our local communities and ensure that Roundabout is welcoming and inclusive to all.
Roundabout uses theatre to connect more deeply with our local communities. We’re building meaningful relationships with civic leaders and organizations that can help us amplify our commitment to inclusivity, diversity and equity. Our goal is to remove barriers—physical, cultural, or financial—so that all New Yorkers can access Roundabout’s work.
