"Questions of Diversity" is an adjustable combination performance which can include pieces on various issues including body image, sexism, abelism, ageism, religion, socioeconomic status, gender and transgender issues, LGBT issues and racism, depending on your needs.

All of our performances are accompanied by Discussion Guides to help aide in facilitation after performances, as well as feedback guides so that we may continually evaluate our work to help us grow as we connect with the BGSU community.
