https://linktr.ee/lorteltheatre Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accountability statement

The Lucille Lortel Theatre and Foundation have always sought to uplift and enfranchise artists. We were founded to present bold and illuminating works, and to empower artists who may not have had the opportunity for their voices to be heard. We recognize that social, economic, and other barriers have exclud

ed many artists, staff, and audiences from full participation in our activities. While we have taken steps to become more inclusive, we can do more. As a leading Off-Broadway organization, we recognize that fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment is fundamental to serving our community. We commit ourselves to following our Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Allyship policy, which was developed by our staff. Mission Statement

The Lucille Lortel Theatre's mission is to foster both new and established artists, increase awareness and appreciation of Off-Broadway, and uphold fair and equitable business and artistic practices in service of creating a larger, more diverse community of theatre makers and audiences.

"Some plays are odes to friendship and others are anatomies of how friendships go awry. When I wrote WAR PAINTING, I was interested in how solidarities break among people, what lies get told to get by, and how class/power dynamics affect people’s ability to truly connect with one another." - Caridad Svich, Playwright
A free digital version is streaming right now until June 17, 2026 from the Lortel Theatre. RSVP in the link in our bio.
