We believe the rich tapestry of American theater must reflect this nation’s true diversity, and nuanced representations of MENA perspectives must be a vital part of cultural production in the U.S.
We take space, make opportunities, champion artists, and build relationships with other marginalized communities and allies to build a more vibrant American theater.
We are holding a digital informational session about the MENA Theater Makers Fund on Friday, February 20, 2026 at 1pm EST / 12pm CST / 10am PST.
Join us welcoming Arab-American arts leader, choreographer and educator Sarah Dahnke as MENA Theater Maker Alliance’s new General Manager!
