Bridge Players Theatre Company celebrates the diverse community that we live in and serve as a member of Burlington County. We are dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and in confronting anything in our operations that may inhibit this. We are committed to creating a culture of inclusion, where all interested individuals can thrive, succeed, and are able to participate in and contribute to Bridge Players.  For us, this means everyone, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, sexual orientation or identity, education or disability, feels valued, and respected.  We accept the challenge to build an organization where full and fair participation is the norm.
