MISSION & VALUES

Our Core Values

At Redwood Ice Theatre Company (RITC), we are dedicated to upholding the values of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as foundational to our mission. We strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that embraces the richness and complexity of all identities, particularly BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals. Our commitment to becoming an antiracist organization drives us to foster holistic representation and to support artists, directors, and instructors from diverse backgrounds at every level of our organization. We are proud to offer meaningful employment opportunities for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, actively building a space where all individuals can belong, grow, and thrive.

We recognize that building an inclusive environment requires continuous learning, self-reflection, and adaptation. RTC acknowledges the importance of language justice and is working toward becoming a bilingual organization to serve our community better. As we evolve, we remain steadfast in our commitment to fostering a supportive and inspiring space for artists and community members alike.
