Parent Artist Advocacy League of Chicago and Prop Thtr present the conversation, How Your Theatre Can Become a More Equitable Employer of Parents and Caregivers livestreaming on the global, commons-based, peer-produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Tuesday 1 November 2022 at 4 p.m. PDT (San Francisco, UTC -7) / 6 p.m. CDT (Chicago, UTC -5) / 7 p.m. EDT (New York, UTC -4).
This will be a forward-looking solutions-based conversation with Chicago arts leaders and organizers about concrete actions theaters of any size can take toward more parent-inclusive employment practices. Panelists will discuss steps their own companies are taking, informed by their lived experiences of being parent-artists in theater.
Panelists Include:
Gabrielle Randle-Bent (Associate Artistic Director at Court Theatre)
Kate Welham (Senior Director of Institutional Giving and Development Operations at the Goodman Theatre)
Natty Galde (Operations Manager at Teatro Vista)
Elsa Hiltner (Founder of On Our Team; Lawyers for the Creative Arts)
Jen Poulin (Accessibility Coordinator at Broken Nose Theatre; director at Prop Thtr)
This conversation is for anyone who wants to learn how to better support their parent-and-caregiver colleagues or advocate for themselves and their peers. We hope you’ll tune in and learn about the work that PAAL is doing to make parent-and-caregiver inclusion a DEI imperative at every level of our industry.
