West End Theatres Start Program To Fight Racism

Several theatres in London’s West End have banded together to start a program to promote diversity in theatre management. “There is a general feeling that theatres have got to sharpen up their act. They’ve got to diversify, they’ve got to refresh themselves. There was a danger of theatres being elitist, being out of touch and failing to reflect multicultural society. There’s quite a recruitment crisis and this is a real opportunity to recruit high quality people.”
