Community Resources
We were so grateful to share a program of this quality with our team, and we've heard fantastic feedback. We especially appreciated that the session invited everybody into the dialogue no matter where they were starting on the topic - from folks in their first conversation to those of use who have facilitated DEI before - we all had much to learn.
Andy Eninger
Co-Founder, Head of Creative
Your guidance throughout these few years have been instrumental in guiding Theo in significant and positive ways. Every conversation we have with the TAP team have been extremely helpful and enlightening in moving Theo forward in becoming a more equitable and inclusive organization. You are trailblazers and we look forward to our continued partnership.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our mission at TAP is to make sure everyone has access to safe and equitable working conditions, and we recognize that cost can be a barrier to entry for some. That is why we created our Pay it Forward Fund, which allows those with a financial constraint to apply for services they need for low or even no cost.
We want to grow alongside your organization over time, offering incremental service price increases that allow you to grow in a financially sound and sustainable way.
Joining TAP means joining a movement for change. We are seeking to change the entire theatre ecosystem. We do this by empowering workers with education of their rights and advocacy tools, organizations with accountable structures, policies, and practices, and the field with data, standards, and community care practices.
We offer a wide range of bespoke consultative services, including facilitating difficult conversations. However, TAP does not provide formal mediation services, guarantee specific outcomes, or enforce agreements between parties.
We do offer independent, equity-centered support for addressing workplace complaints and conflicts. We serve as a neutral third party, facilitating voluntary conversations focused on harm reduction, restorative justice, and culture repair when appropriate. If formal mediation is needed, or if TAP cannot act as a neutral third party, we will refer participants to independent, qualified mediators aligned with equity-centered practices.
We understand your skepticism and it's not misplaced. Historically, human resources departments function primarily to limit company liability, not to advocate for individuals. This can make individuals less likely to report harm, leading to organizations unknowingly or knowingly upholding harmful practices, and individuals feeling disempowered in their workplace.
So how is TAP different?
