<span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">Striving to achieve equity in theatre requires not simply an acknowledgement of marginalization and exclusion, but a rectification of imbalances and misrepresentations. In this issue of
<i>Canadian Theatre Review</i>, contributors seek to increase visibility around existent industry barriers while positing possible solutions to help affect positive change. Academics, artists, and activists creatively and persuasively call for the inclusion
of marginalized practitioners not only onstage but in the creation, development, and production of artistic works; they celebrate and revel in the work that women and minoritized theatre practitioners have and continue to produce; and they look to the future
to envision performatively how equity in the industry might be achieved. As noted by many of the authors, essential to any effort or collaboration is an intersectional approach that recognizes how different women encounter the theatre industry in varied ways.
Underrepresented and marginalized theatre creators experience oppressions through complex and layered barriers, which cannot be confronted or remedied through a single action or one-off event. Substantive alterations are greatly needed to permeate all aspects
of the industry and the institutions that support it. Nothing short of a blitzkrieg effort will do. In this
<i>CTR</i> issue, the contributors’ strength, creativity, and drive is testament to an undeniable reality: change is coming to a theatre near you.
