At Open Circle Theatre, we are committed to building a radically inclusive, accessible, and intersectional space. As a company led primarily by white disabled women right now, we are continuously working to move beyond the framework of the disability rights movement to Disability Justice. We want to center the voices of those most impacted—especially disabled artists of color and disabled queer, trans, and gender-expansive creatives. Like the name says, the circle is open!

Our approach to diversity and inclusion is not an afterthought; we embed it in our leadership, our creative processes, and our culture of collective access and accountability. We reject hierarchies that silence or diminish lived experience, and we move at the speed of access and care, not capitalist urgency. We are still learning, still listening, and remain deeply committed to growing this work with integrity, accountability, and love.

Open Circle acknowledges that its theatrical work happens on occupied, unceded territory: the ancestral homeland of the NACOTCHTANK, whose descendants belong to the Piscataway peoples.
