Dria is an artDoula — a champion for change in Broadway, and beyond.
Dria, who describes herself as an “artDoula” who is also Broadway Advocacy Coalition Programming + Partnerships Producer and a Theater of Change Facilitator at Columbia Law School — has embarked on a mission that will create lasting, and positive changes on Broadway stages and beyond. This is not something that I think, dear family — this is something that I know.
It shouldn’t surprise anyone that this self-appointed artDoula is also a d dynamic storyteller and creates + produces live and digital content and has performed, on stage, in multiple National Tours, Regional productions, and Off-Broadway.

Shamefully, I will admit that I only discovered the Broadway Advocacy Coalition after they were recognized with a Special Tony Honor for their contributions to the Broadway industry. They are the first organization to be recognized with this award. This year they celebrated their
5th anniversary.
These dedicated women and men at the Broadway Advocacy Coalition have been putting in the work in an effort to tackle and affect change surrounding systemic racism beyond the Broadway industry. In the summer of 2020 BAC hosted a virtual forum #BwayForBLM Again that garnered over 10k views and culminated in an accountability pledge signed by over 8k members of the Broadway community, both in NY and across the country.
Since that forum, BAC has turned toward the industry from which it was born and launched several initiatives focused on equity and inclusion within the theatre industry itself, including a new Reimagining Equitable Productions (REP) program that includes workshops for shows reopening this fall, in the hopes of a safer work environment for all.
Here is what Dria, who describes herself as an “artDoula” who is also Broadway Advocacy Coalition Programming + Partnerships Producer and a Theater of Change Facilitator at Columbia Law School had to share about how one person (yes, just one) can make a lasting and positive change against prejudice and racism.
