Wendell J Tucker has posted a new update!

The more I think about , the crazier things seem. So to all Theori Stages Inc alum, associates, and future cast members, here is your friendly reminder:

The women who work with us are our teammates, colleagues, friends, sisters. They should NEVER be in a position where they feel unsafe, imposed upon, or disrespected. We should all, ESPECIALLY THE MEN, make sure that when we work together everyone feels safe (at minimum), protected, and empowered (ideally). As cultivators and protectors of our culture, we have a responsibility to make sure that we are upholding the best and most righteous of our social standards. R**e culture has no business in theater (unless we are doing work to dismantle it), and will NOT be tolerated on any level. We stand behind the women who have worked through the darkness of gender discrimination and on behalf of all who love our craft offer our support and empathy.

Men of the industry, it is time to hold each other accountable for our actions.

"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak, is to speak. Not to act is to act."
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Sincerely,
Wendell J Tucker
