🎭 Vintage Theatre Reaffirms Its Commitment to Inclusivity, Community, and Artistic Integrity

Since our very first production, Vintage Theatre has believed in the transformative power of live theatre to bring people together, spark dialogue, and celebrate shared humanity. Our mission has always been to create meaningful art in a space where everyone feels welcome, respected, and valued.

Recently, a cast member raised concerns about the political or religious views expressed on a crew member’s personal social media platforms. After a careful review and consultation with an independent third party, it was determined that the content did not violate any laws or contain hate speech. The individual maintained professionalism and respect throughout rehearsals, and therefore, there were no grounds for removal or disciplinary action.

The independent review also revealed that certain behaviors from other participants during rehearsals made members of the cast and crew uncomfortable. We acknowledge that these moments were not identified or addressed when they should have been, and we take full responsibility for improving how concerns are reported, communicated, and resolved in future productions.

As part of this renewed commitment, Vintage Theatre is conducting a comprehensive review of our internal policies and communication practices to ensure that any future concerns are addressed promptly, fairly, and appropriately—always based on all the facts. Our goal is to continue fostering an environment where every participant feels safe, heard, and supported.

Unfortunately, several cast members chose to step away during the review process. Because of this and the resulting timing constraints, we made the difficult decision to cancel our upcoming production of The Taming of the Shrew.

We are deeply grateful to the incredibly talented cast and crew who dedicated countless hours of hard work, creativity, and heart to this production. While we won’t see this show take the stage, we profoundly value the artistry, collaboration, and passion that each person brought to the process. The spirit of creativity and teamwork that emerged will continue to inspire all we do at Vintage Theatre.

At Vintage Theatre, we remain steadfast in our mission to ensure that our creative spaces are safe, respectful, and inclusive for all — regardless of race, religion, political affiliation, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

In light of recent online commentary, we want to clarify:

👉 Vintage Theatre does not exclude or dismiss anyone based on personal beliefs or political affiliation, provided they are lawful expressions of opinion or words on social media platforms.

We are, and always will be, a theatre for everyone.

Our mission endures — to celebrate the power of art to unite communities through creativity, respect, and shared human experience.

💛 Thank you for standing with Vintage Theatre and for continuing to support local art that brings people together.
💛 We believe art thrives when everyone has an equal opportunity to participate and be heard.
💛 We remain devoted to fostering dialogue, empathy, and understanding through storytelling.
💛 We invite our community to join us as we continue to build bridges through theatre — spreading joy, love, connection, and acceptance in new ways
