Lyric Theatre is committed to:
• Upholding principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion in casting and all other operations
• Ensuring the safety of casts and crews from harassment and discrimination
• Maintaining high production values in our shows
• Promoting our signature light opera repertoire
• Giving students onstage and backstage experience in musical theatre arts
To support these commitments, we have:
• A Code of Conduct, which our cast, crews, and staff are required to sign and agree to uphold
• A contract with Red Flag Reporting hotline services, available to all show participants; any report of harassment or discrimination is investigated and adjudicated by an HR professional
• An HR function within our organization, responsible for personnel issues, health policy, safely regulations, and HR training
• Required training for board members, staff, and show directors in DEI and handling of harassment and discrimination cases
