TONY partners with communities facing discrimination to inspire transformative action through theater. It organizes theater troupes in collaboration with local communities—homeless adults and youth, people living with HIV/AIDS, immigrants, veterans, etc. It also hosts an annual legislative theater festival, which advocates for specific legislative outcomes.
