Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility Committee
Mission Statement
The FTG DEIA Committee is working to foster a culture of Diversity, Equality, Inclusion, and Accessibility within our Falmouth Theatre Guild community. We will actively work toward valuing and respecting all people, their identities and their histories.
Our commitment to DEIA work will be ongoing, imperfect, and with the intention of correcting and learning from missteps when they cause social or cultural harm. It will require examining our own imperfections and opening channels when it is time for us to listen. We are committed to the immediate and long-term work necessary to dismantle systems of oppression.
Vision
Great theater should be a positive, transformative, and inclusive cultural experience for society as a whole. We aspire to extend our resources to people and places that the theater has lost touch with, or that we have yet to meet, as we hold and have always held that the empowering values that create important art should also drive our casting, production, promotion and support.
We believe when inclusion is fully embraced and empowered, creativity and knowledge emerge, advancing the community that is uniquely Falmouth Theatre Guild.
FTG Land Acknowledgement Statement
The Falmouth Theatre Guild acknowledges that we are gathering for rehearsals and performances on the unceded ancestral land of the Wôpanâak (Wampanoag) Nation. We recognize and respect the Wampanoag people, including those of Suckanesset, Waquoit, Sippewissett, Tataket, and Chapoquoit as original stewards of what is now known as the Town of Falmouth and honor their enduring relationship with this land, waterways, and traditions that sustain them. This Land acknowledgment is an intentional act to counter the erasure of Indigenous people and to demonstrate respect for their sovereign rights. We pay respect to their elders, past and present, who have preserved their cultural heritage and teachings despite centuries of adversity. We are committed to continuing to educate ourselves and work towards collaboration.

Falmouth Theatre Guild is grateful for support from
