You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at Jimfbleak. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:   . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. Also read the following regarding writing an article:


 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls


 * Much of your text is unreferenced, or sourced to what appear to be local publications, notices of forthcoming productions or reviews, none of which are appropriate. One of the refs I cannot see here for GPDR legal reasons, so I can't comment on that


 * The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
 * significant coverage in
 * independent,
 * multiple,
 * reliable,
 * secondary sources.
 * Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.


 * It's not clear that this is notable. Your sources are mostly local, not national or global, and your text gives no information about staffing, management, income or expenditure, or any historic significance of the theatre.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.


 * Your text was pretty well solid spam, with mission statements and promo text like  to entertain and inspire audiences, aiming to showcase local talent... They take steps to ensure their productions are inclusive creatively as well as accessible physically by producing plays with an intersectional lens, at free or affordable cost, while being mindful to stage performances all people can attend through public transportation. They approach their workshops with the same intersectional lens, committing to inclusivity over all other aspects of their programming, and they will work with each institution or group in providing them with high-quality educational experiences, regardless of financial status and budget availability. no facts, just promo'' Much of the rest is the same, but I'm not going to list it all here.


 * Reviews of plays are irrelelevant to the notability of the theatre, just looks promotional


 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * The bit about offering catharsis and hope appears to be copied from the Broadway World advert, a source that claims copyright, without attribution.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article.

If you try again, get proper sources and real facts, including staffing, financials etc. Don't include mission statements, aims, objectives, reviews, opinions or copyrighted text. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:50, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
