Activism
MAESTRA
Structural inequities in training, hiring, and accessibility have long limited underrepresented artists, including women and gender-expansive musicians, from full participation in the professional life of the theatre. Maestra Music, founded in 2017 by acclaimed composer, lyricist, and music director Georgia Stitt, believes that creative excellence and cultural equity are inseparable and demand sustained intervention. Maestra’s multi-faceted programming provides support, visibility, and community for its members and allies through year-round initiatives designed to build lasting models for equity across the theatre industry.
