We recognize and acknowledge that Next Stage Arts stands on the Indigenous territory known as Wantastegok, the traditional homelands of the Sokoki Abenaki, and despite centuries of persecution, they survive today.

Next Stage Arts is committed to a collegial work environment in which all individuals including staff, board members, contractors, vendors, and volunteers are treated with respect and dignity.. Each individual has the right to work in a professional atmosphere that promotes equal opportunities and prohibits discriminatory or harassing practices. Accordingly, NSAP expects that all relationships among persons employed by or otherwise affiliated with the organization will be business-like and free of bias, prejudice, and harassment.

All Personnel are expected to adhere to the Policy and will be held accountable for their conduct in this regard. Failure to comply with any part of the Policy will not be tolerated and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. Failure to observe this Policy may also result in personal liability if individuals are named as defendants in legal actions alleging discrimination or harassment.

​Next Stage is dedicated to making our space and programs accessible to everyone in our community.

Next Stage is a fully ADA-accessible event space. A first-floor elevator provides second floor access for patrons with mobility issues. Parking, paths-of-travel and bathrooms are all easily accessible on the first floor. The stage, greenroom, and Art Gallery, on our second floor, are all wheelchair-friendly. There are also assisted-listening devices available at all shows and events. Some of our shows and events also have special family-friendly and senior reduced-priced tickets.

Sign Language Interpretation (select performances only)

ASL-interpreted shows provide access to live events for members of the Deaf/HH community. With four weeks’ notice, we’ll make every effort to provide ASL interpretation for groups of 4 or more at no cost. For more information, please email Info@nextstagearts.org.

Assisted Listening Devices

Assisted listening devices are available at the Box Office for all Next Stage performances and events.

We recognize structural racism/ethnic discrimination and other forms of oppression have contributed to persistent disparities which we seeks to dismantle.

We understand that these disparities have existed in the past and persist into the present.

We acknowledge that these inequities are the result of policies and practices that work to marginalize entire populations of people.

We unequivocally denounce racism/ethnic discrimination because it undermines the well-being and vitality of our communities.

We work with artists, funders, and community collaborators to co-create solutions that ensure everyone has the resources, supports, opportunities and networks they need to thrive.

We commit to leveraging all of our assets (convening, strategic investments, awareness building, advocacy) to create more equitable communities.
