Inheritance Theater Project (ITP) builds relationships across religious, racial, and generational divides through collaborative playmaking. The company is led by a team of national artists who partner with local artists, educators, and clergy to engage in a process that uses theater and shared cultural touchstones to bridge divides and build community. The process culminates in an original piece of theater by and for the residents of that city, but it is the act of creating this work that builds strong, more interconnected communities.

Since 2015, ITP has employed 200+ artists to engage 11,000+ people in 15 cities across the U.S. ITP has worked in communities where issues like refugee resettlement (Omaha), housing discrimination (Norfolk), and impending climate disasters (Palm Beach) have led to neighbors operating in silos and, at times, conflict. By inviting people to co-create art about these challenging topics, ITP increases empathy and creates new durable connections that continue to serve the community for years to come.
