Ford's Theatre

Ford's Theatre Society will build institutional capacity to establish and sustain an inclusive workplace culture and become a model for other organizations in the public history field. The theatre is the site of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination, and is visited by nearly 650,000 people each year. It is also a working theatre producing plays that often address resonant issues in the American experience. Consultants with expertise in building cultural competency and discussing challenging topics with visitors will provide training and guidance for the project, which will empower front-line staff to responsibly engage with visitors - in person or online - and build an inclusive place for all to experience and enjoy.
