Continuing its mission to provide opportunity, education and vital industry connections for stage managers of color, Broadway & Beyond Access hosts its first hybrid networking event. Following the extraordinary success of its three virtual-only networking events, the hybrid event will foster in-person connections for those who are able to attend in person in New York, while continuing to provide an opportunity for stage managers of color and professionals from around the country to participate virtually. Information about discounted hotel options will be posted soon.
Stage managers of color interested in participating in the event, either in person or virtually, must apply online by Sunday, August 7, at 11:59pm PST.
Application and registration instructions here.
Theater Industry Professionals who are interested in joining, sign up here by Friday August 12 at 11:59 PST.

To ensure this opportunity is made available to as many qualified applicants as possible, Broadway & Beyond launched a $100,000 fundraiser this spring. Funds raised through the campaign will cover travel and hotel costs for stage managers of color outside of the New York City area whose applications are accepted for the event. Additional support will be made available on a case-by-case basis for applicants who live in the NYC area and need assistance with local travel, childcare or other support that enables them to attend the event in person.
Thomas Schumacher and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS matched $35,000 in donations and donations are still being accepted [link here]. To make a tax-deductible donation to support stage managers of color making vital industry click here.
