About Us
Dialogues On Diversity is the country's premier social justice and diversity theater company. DOD uses theatrical models to make our message of difference, inclusion and social justice accessible, engaging and entertaining. We offer a range of fun, interactive, and informative programs designed to educate and entertain, or "edutain," through satire and parody. We've discovered that humor helps people open up when engaging complex and complicated issues.
​
Award-winning, and highly praised, our programs have been profiled by major media outlets, including CNN, The Washington Post and Fox News.

Our programs are staffed by leading professionals in higher education and actors/educators committed to social justice.
​
If we are to move into a fast changing world, we must embrace a new sense of cultural commonality and curiosity. This requires cultural competence and a new way of looking at people who are different from ourselves. When we do this, our differences become an opportunity rather than an obstacle.

Social Justice for Lasting Change
The first step to making change is understanding what you are trying to change and why. The shows/programs/workshops are all designed to give people the context for structural and systemic bias that we have allowed to fester for far too long in our society.
​
Dialogues on Diversity uses performance-based works, workshops, and lectures to make dealing with the deep and sometimes contentious topic more accessible.
​
We want people to better understand the different elements that go into systemic oppression and how they have played out for generations.
​
Our hope is to give people the knowledge to better understand what the problems have looked like over time. From there, we hope to help people commit to the fact that social change has always been a slow process. It requires a multicultural and multi-generational commitment for the sake of the dis-empowered and the not yet empowered. It has always required compassion, knowledge, activism, faith, planning and sacrifice.
