Green Thumb Theatre is actively seeking to dismantle inequity in the theatre sector and to further principles of access, inclusion, and equity in our work. We encourage applications who are from BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and other intersecting communities facing systemic marginalization, and welcome members of those communities to self-identify as they feel comfortable. Green Thumb also recognizes that artists, employees, and contractors are informed by all facets of their identities. We welcome applicants to inform us of their pronouns if they wish, and to include details about how their identity informs their practice and needs as they see fit.

‍All Green Thumb staff, contractors, and volunteers are asked to sign off on Green Thumb’s Anti-Oppression and Anti-Harassment Policy. This can be found at: https://www.greenthumb.bc.ca/resources/anti-oppression-anti-harrassment-policy

COVID-19 and Cancellation:

All tours will only move forward if the Theatre has the ability to tour into schools in our 2025-26 season. The Theatre will make every effort to keep the Stage Manager apprised of changes to the schedule.
