Theatre Producers of Color (TPOC) is a multifaceted collective of theatremakers joined together in support of the next generation of BIPOC producers by providing access to education, training, and mentorship.

TPOC was born out of the necessity to diversify the pool of commercial producers on and off Broadway. 

We have observed many barriers keeping BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) out of commercial producing, specifically the lack of education, training and mentorship. TPOC strives to break down these barriers and make producing more accessible for a variety of voices.

TPOC’s flagship educational initiative, Producing 101, introduces students to the fundamentals of commercial producing, connecting a network of BIPOC and White ally producers to a cohort of aspiring BIPOC producers. This tuition-free training aims to create a safe space for a community of BIPOC producers to learn, grow, and develop together.

The founding members of TPOC include Miranda Gohh (Founder), Jamie Joeyen-Waldorf, Deven Kolluri, and Penny Pun. 

Staff includes Jacqueline Rosas (Marketing Coordinator).

We are supported and incubated by Broadway For All (BFA), a national organization shaping the next generation of advocates for radical inclusivity and anti-racism through engagement with the performing arts.

Broadway For All (BFA) is a Manhattan-based national organization providing young artists and stakeholders in entertainment with the programming, community, and vision to build a more inclusive and powerful arts industry. Founded in 2012 through Harvard University’s Presidential Public Service Fellowship program, BFA initially set out to diversify the stage and screen through a free intensive summer conservatory prioritizing education, access, and exposure. Today, BFA operates its flagship conservatory, including tracks in Digital Content Creation, Dramatic Writing, Musical Theater, and Drama; “BFA 365” to coach students applying to arts education programs; and “Access For All,” to connect historically excluded communities to experiences in theater and arts entertainment.
