About the course:

This course is a podcast-style training for theatre professionals exploring transgender history, representation, and workplace inclusion. Through clear storytelling, real-world theatre examples, and reflective prompts, participants learn key terms and context for how trans identity has been shaped historically — and how that history shows up in today's rehearsal rooms, casting practices, and workplace culture. The course offers practical, actionable tools for creating genuinely trans-inclusive environments at every level of a theatrical organization.

Included in the e-learning membership suite for $49 annually
