Feminist Theatre Makers main role on campus is focused on diversity and inclusion in the collaborative space of theatre. FTM was founded because there had not been safe spaces for the intersection of POC and women to speak of the negative experiences that came with having a predominantly white staff, telling predominantly euro-centric stories within the context a university setting. Historically, theatre has been used to pass down stories, from comedic to tragic alike.
