What We Measure

Four dimensions of a safe, inclusive rehearsal room

Every review goes beyond a single number. We ask reviewers to rate each professional on the issues that matter most to working actors.

I

Physical Safety

I feel physically safe when working with this person in the rehearsal room and on stage.

II

Emotional Safety

I feel emotionally safe when working with this person — respected, heard, and valued.

III

Rehearsal Preparedness

This person comes to rehearsal prepared, with clear vision and organized materials.

IV

Inclusive of Diversity

This person is inclusive of diversity, including LGBTQ+, disabilities, POC, and all backgrounds.

Your experience matters.
