Diversity, Equality and Inclusion

The Abbey Theatre is dedicated to fostering a culture of diversity, equality and inclusion across all aspects of its operations.

As Ireland’s National Theatre, we seek to reflect the diversity of our society, provide equal opportunities, and create a safe, welcoming environment for all artists, audiences and staff. This is rooted in our belief that the arts should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their background, identity or circumstances.

By embracing a wide range of perspectives and experiences, we aim to enrich our artistic output and ensure that our theatre is a true representation of the people it serves. Our DEI Policy is designed to break down barriers, challenge inequalities and unfairness, and promote a culture of respect and understanding within our organisation and our wider community. Through continuous reflection, education and action, we strive to create an inclusive space where all voices are heard and valued.
