Parity Productions is a not-for-profit theatre company based in New York City, founded in 2016 by director Ludovica Villar-Hauser. It operates as a producer of new work while actively promoting diversity in its creative teams, committing to filling at least half of the roles for playwrights, directors, and designers with cis women and TGNC artists. The organization develops and produces compelling plays that give voice to individuals who challenge their marginalized positions in society, and it also supports other theatre companies that follow its 50% hiring standard. In addition to its production activities, Parity Productions maintains initiatives aimed at expanding access to opportunity within the theatre industry and collaborates with partners to increase visibility for qualifying productions. A tangible development in its ongoing efforts has been the establishment of a monthly directory highlighting productions that meet its 50% criteria for female and TGNC participation.
