Demographic Survey
Playwrights Horizons Demographic Survey (as of December 2021)
Our theater has embarked on a big, ongoing project to better understand how members of our community self-identify. We're doing this for two reasons:
1. Accountability. As we continue the work of diversifying our theater, we are collecting this information from our artists, staff, board, faculty, vendors, and volunteers so that we can see and share how our community changes over time. This form is an integral tool for us to measure the progress we're making towards becoming more inclusive and accessible. The organization's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Working Group (EDIWG) will publish a public summary of these results annually.
2. Funding. We rely on institutional funders to support our work. Demographic data helps us craft honest grant applications, particularly for funders who ask us about the composition of our community. If you’d like to learn more about our funders and how we communicate this data, we’re happy to share that information with you.
The data collected is 100% anonymous and only shared in aggregate (i.e. with no personal identifying information).
As you fill out the form, if you discover that you have any questions about the nature of your involvement, or which corresponding box to check, please don't hesitate to reach out to the staff member who shared this with you. Throughout the form, you may select multiple answers, write in your own answer, or decline to answer.
Lastly, you can read more about our commitments to anti-racism on our website here: phnyc.org/about/commitments-anti-racism.
Thank you so much for participating in this project!
