Our industry faces severe social and economic impacts of Covid-19. Theatre makers are also engaged in reckoning with systemic racism. Alongside the global pandemic and the legacy of
white supremacy looms another destabilizing reality: climate change. These three crises are
not a coincidence: they are deeply interconnected. Their confluence at this moment
demands that we re-examine our “business as usual” and embrace new responsibilities -
and opportunities - as we look forward.
The Sustainable Production Toolkit is comprehensive guide, with concrete tools and best
practices for prioritizing the intertwined needs for greater environmental, human, and
financial sustainability in our industry. Modules include how to frame and facilitate these
conversations with your colleagues; how to budget for reduced emissions from scenery,
costumes and props; how to approach transitioning to LED lighting; air travel; and
development opportunities.
