Nondiscrimination Policy of Ritual Art Troupe

Ritual Art Troupe does not discriminate in regard to race, color, ethnicity, national origin, ancestry, age, religion, disability status, sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, pregnancy, appearance, genetic information, political affiliation, socio-economic status, or source of income in its employment practices, selection of board members, selection of students, selection of volunteers, or in accepting clients for its services or products or as otherwise provided by all applicable federal, state, and local laws.

For artistic endeavors that treat a particular oppressed minority, race, ethnicity, identity, or orientation, casting preference may be given to people based on race, ethnicity, identity, or orientation so as to show respect for the relevant culture and to avoid actual or perceived improper cultural appropriation.

It’s the year 2020. The President has been re-elected, the climate is heating up, and the economy is in meltdown. Now, it’s up to all of us to figure out what happens next. In this 60-minute satirical participatory performance, audience members choose from a list of possible scenarios they want staged: impeachment? a coup? a revolution? “20/20” asks what people power looks like in a time of vast uncertainty when even choosing to do nothing at all has its consequences.

“20/20”, co-written by Kari Barclay and Stardust Doherty, is scheduled for four performances only during the San Francisco Fringe Festival.
