Our Core Values

DECOLONISATION

We place IBPOC women’s stories at the forefront of the curatorial process, and work with IBPOC Artistic and Design Teams to create and implement work culture policies that support transparency, accountability, and care.

COMMUNITY

We value our theatre and arts community in Hamilton; we aim to serve the community by creating jobs, discussion, and politically charged art that demands evolution from the status quo.

VIBRANCY

Inspired by the colourful, dynamic and bold tradition of rich textiles woven by women globally, we are determined to bring vibrant, entertaining, dramatic, and explosive art to the stage.

MENTORSHIP

We believe that mentoring younger generations is integral to the development of our community and consistently work with younger artists and administrators to support paid on the job training.

RESILIENCE

Our company was born out of a need for founding Artistic Director, Radha Menon, to have her work produced- as a woman of colour in Hamilton- in the late 2000s, as Radha was prevented access to all mainstream companies. Her resilience and the tenacity of countless other marginalized artists has propelled the performing arts sector in Canada to evolve into the more inclusive ecology we see today.

Community Impact

Red Beti Theatre creates experiences that take audiences on unpredictable journeys that are inspiring, exciting and intriguing. Our productions are critically acclaimed and have been included in The View Magazine’s annual Best of Theatre column from 2012 to the present. While we consider Hamilton, Ontario our home base, our productions have been presented throughout the province and for global audiences online.
