COMMITMENT TO DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

Cygnets Players strives to create an accessible and welcoming environment for members and audiences. We are committed to diversity and inclusion within our casting and storytelling to ensure there are opportunities for all people, from every walk of life, to take part.

​

We are committed to a conscious casting process; making conscious decisions about how a show can be cast, rather than following the "traditional" model that repeats whatever has been done before.

We are always open to non-traditional casting, and conscious artistic decisions will be made whenever race, ethnicity, gender or other factors are a key component of the story or integral to the relationships between characters. Where this is the case, it will be clearly highlighted in character breakdowns.

​

Cygnets is a member of the South West London amateur theatre societies' Inclusion, Diversity, Equality and Accessibility Group (IDEA): a group of five societies working towards improved diversity and inclusion in am dram.
