INCLUSION THROUGH THE ARTS
Mayhem Theatre Company is dedicated to producing dramatic and operatic works within the local community and works to create an inclusive theatrical environment for its members. As an amateur theatre company, we maintain a strong commitment to embracing diversity and foster an inclusive rehearsal and social environment to encourage all members to be involved in any and all aspects of theatrical production. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is reflected in the following:
Membership is open to all
We recognise that we benefit in numerous ways from differences in culture, ethnicity, national origin, race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity, age, disability and sexual orientation. General membership to the society is, and will continue to be, open to everyone over the age of 16 and, as an amateur theatre company, we maintain a strong commitment to embracing diversity.
An inclusive environment for all members
We foster an inclusive rehearsal and social environment to encourage members to get involved. All members have equal voting rights in applicable situations; as an example, in selecting the Members Committee at the annual AGM. Roles on the Committee are open to any member who wishes to apply and all members have an active voice in how we run the society. We are also always open to anyone wishing to join the Members’ Committee as a General Committee Member to provide support and assistance to committee members with various tasks and projects throughout the year. Members from all and any background are encouraged to join the society at any time and the company strives to provide opportunities to get involved in any and all aspects of theatrical production, regardless of experience (subject to all necessary health and safety considerations).
Auditionees from all backgrounds are encouraged
We value the specific abilities and talents our members bring to the society and, equally, encourage members and non-members to audition for any roles in our productions, unless a specific requirement is stated and is pivotal to the plot in question.
Casting is based on talent and suitability
We are dedicated to producing dramatic and operatic productions to the highest standards and commit to casting roles based on suitability for role.
We explore diverse theatrical options
We endeavour to create a calendar of productions characterised by as much diversity as possible each year, subject of course to rights availability and company suitability.
