Founded by Alice H. Kennedy, KMR Diversity Theatre originated in June of 1999 at Cascade Engineering, Inc. as a method of bringing awareness exercise to the work environment and to help employees exercise respect and sensitivity in everyday situations.
Since then, KMR Diversity Theatre has performed shows for businesses, non-profit organizations, schools, and special events--expanding its reach beyond the work environment to impact many adults and youths throughout Michigan.
Our mission is to bring challenging, educational and enlightening shows to the community dealing with diverse issues including racism, sexism, homophobia, cultural diversity, and other personal prejudices.
Our vision is to create an avenue for a safe environment for dialogue, learning and understanding about those who are different from us.
