The Asian Artists of America Alliance (4A) is a dynamic presence of multi-dimensional artists and creators that invites all Asian identifying* students to connect at TTS. We come together to celebrate, to share, to educate, and to stand firmly. We know and believe that Asian Artists are bold and powerful, talented and creative, strong and impactful. We represent the diversity within the Asian community and recognize the unique voice embedded in who we are. We provide space, encouragement, collaboration, and celebration. We strive to acknowledge and elevate the presence of Asian peoples in the Theatre industry and beyond.

*(including Samoan, Tongan, Guamanian, and native Hawai'ian from the Pacific Islands; Vietnamese, Cambodian, Thai, Burmese, Malay, and Filipinos from Southeast Asia; Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, and Sri Lankan from South Asia; Afghani and Iranian from Central Asia; and Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese and Chinese from East Asia, and others).

Black Artists of Today (BAT) was formed in order to give space to black voices that may, at times, feel silenced, unseen, misunderstood, unheard or ignored. Our mission is to create a community for black actors to apply learned material while exploring other talents through devised work. BAT provides a safe place for our members to speak and create freely to bring themselves to the larger community. BAT provides black actors, within The Theatre School, a place to discuss the dynamic that their presence has within The Theatre School and the overall DePaul community. BAT is the forum for black actors to help transition back into the greater ensemble that works towards being inclusive, supportive and diverse. Within this group, we celebrate each individuals' perspective on the black experience, whether it be an oppressive or privilege state and crafts their lived experiences into theater. BAT is made up of Black artists that come from different religions, cultures, classes, gender, sexuality, regions, and experiences that all fall under the wide umbrella that is “Blackness". BAT invites audience members to step outside of their own existence and take a peep through the lens of young, gifted, and black artists.

LA TTS is a group of diverse artists that invites and welcomes all Latinx (Afro-Latinx, Afro-Indigenous, Chicanx, Tejanx, Hispanic or Latino/a, Caribbean and Latin American) artists at TTS to collaborate, share events, and celebrate one another-through a cultural, political, and artistic events and presentations. As a polycultural familia, we tackle many critical conversations in our meetings, with also creating a room to be in community with one another. As one of the few registered student groups in TTS, we strive to foster connections with other Latinx theatre and cultural organizations in the city and across the nation.
