AN IMPORTANT STATEMENT FROM SAS PERFORMING ARTS & STUDIO, INC.
In response to the shameful and disgraceful racist acts across our nation, SAS Performing Arts Company and Studios, Inc. pledges to be a representative for change. We call upon all performing, creative, and technical artists, staff, board members, and every audience member who has benefited from their talent to join us to remove racism and safeguard justice in our country.
Performing Arts Organizations should not participate in such deplorable practices, and performance spaces
should never be a setting where prejudice should permeate the atmosphere.
We hear you; we support you; we stand with you.
