About

Stage & Candor is on a mission: to put ourselves out of business. We dream of a world with an even playing field, in which the conversation about equity is long since solved.
 

We aim to create a path to that world, to empower change-making through access to information, conversation, and community building. An online publication created to increase representation and accessibility in the performing arts, Stage & Candor will provide a platform for art-makers, art-seers, and art-supporters to address issues of equity and intersectional inclusion. In making a space for conversation, we seek to build awareness of stories of parity, empathy, justice, and the threads that connect them.
