The Baltimore Improv Group is passionately committed to diversity, equity and inclusivity in our student body, ensemble, and organizational leadership. Our goal is to make this art, not only accessible, but inclusive, welcoming people of color, senior citizens, veterans, military members, differently-abled persons, immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. There are many reasons to foster a more inclusive theatre, and ultimately they lead to one result: better comedy. The more voices we hear on stage, in the audience and in rehearsal,  the more resonant, creative, and accessible our work becomes.  

At BIG, we strive to increase our access to programs, scholarships and performance to Baltimore’s underserved communities through:

​​

• Outreach & Alliance Building

• Diversity Programming

• Diverse Voices Scholarship

• Talent Cultivation

• Our Casting Philosophy
