Broadway Black is an organization that fosters and inspires artistic diversity and excellence in theatre. Dedicated to highlighting the achievements and successes of Black theatre artists on and off the Broadway stage, Broadway Black, founded in 2012 by Drew Shade, has continued to grow into a one-of-a-kind multimedia venture with editorial content that showcases the best and the brightest stars across the industry. It’s the place for Black people to see themselves center stage. This is what happens when the theatre goes dark.
The Broadway Advocacy Coalition builds the capacity of individuals, organizations, and communities to dismantle the systems that perpetuate racism through the power of storytelling and the leadership of people directly affected.
Founded in 2016 by members of the Broadway community as a direct response to the nation's pandemic of racism and police brutality, it has since grown into a multi-disciplinary organization uniting artists with legal experts and community leaders to have a lasting impact on policy issues including criminal justice reform, education equity, and immigration.

Women of Color on Broadway, Inc. envisions a community that centralizes both well-established, and upcoming female writers, producers, engineers, directors, musicians, and performers to create access to long-term mentorship, and job opportunities in theatre + musical theater. To help achieve this vision, we produce musical events to employ women of color, as well as develop educational programs to expose students to various career fields in the theater industry.
