The Industry Standard Group Logo

The Industry Standard Group (TISG) is a community-based organization that creates opportunities for those traditionally underrepresented and marginalized in the Broadway community, especially BIPOC folks, to contribute to, invest in, and produce the highest level projects in the commercial theatre industry.

After producing 75+ Broadway shows, eight collaborators of color saw the disparity in the seats at the tables where decisions were made. This world-class, Tony and Drama Desk award-winning team came together to re-imagine pathways for BIPOC communities to contribute as investors and producers in the commercial theater industry.

TISG was officially launched in October 2020 and has built strategic partnerships to transform the future of theatre production. Second Act Theatrical Capital is the first initiative built by TISG to disrupt and innovate on the restrictive models utilized in commercial theatre.

Community Building: There is strength in our unity. TISG hosts events created to cultivate and support BIPOC investors and producers, including the support of BIPOC-led projects.

Education: TISG is cultivating educational opportunities for BIPOC investors and producers throughout the year.
