“We are committed to changing structures which have sustained a lack of diversity in our organization including our hiring practices, professional development investments, and organizational leadership and hierarchy,” said Center Theatre Group Managing Director and CEO Meghan Pressman. “We know this is a small and preliminary step towards a long overdue goal but with hiring and professional development investments largely paused due to the current shutdown and resulting financial challenges our organization faces, we have begun plans for an assessment of those practices and know that adding Tyrone to the conversation at the Leadership Team level now will help create a better framework once we can resume those activities.”

In his new role Davis he has already guided in a new direction by inspiring a direction, developing Not a Moment, but a Movement. It is an insightful series of events to be released on our new Digital Stage, which parings play readings with visual atists and musicians to create an interdisciplinary collaboration to amplify and center for Black artists,” added Richie.
