The Theatre School at DePaul University

Learn by Doing



​The Theatre School is working to dismantle systemic racism in our institution.

We hear the outpouring of feedback from our community with humility and apology. We recognize the pain we have caused our Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) alumni, students, faculty, and staff and hold ourselves accountable to restructuring personal and institutional inequities. We accept responsibility for the harm we have caused and commit to creating meaningful change.
