IAMA is dedicated to matching our external output of content with our internal input of education, training, and firm dedication to the dismantling of white supremacy and oppressive barriers that have long been a part of the American Theatre. We will also focus on developing new voices and a new educational platform that will not only help train future theatre makers, but future theatre leaders for this country. As sole Artistic Director of IAMA, for the first time, it is my great honor to bring us all back together, safely, in person, and continue to push the boundaries of what we are capable of, while continuing to explore the new digital theater medium.
This is where our storytelling will continue. We continue to move through a global pandemic, fighting for social/racial justice and finding our way through political chaos, all the while allowing further exploration of the past, present and future. We believe that it is our responsibility to find the balance between storytelling that honors the moment and ensuring space for an equitable future. IAMA’s 14th season is dedicated to further developing what it means to be theatre-makers now and for the future.
