Advocate
diverse, inclusive community of artists and audiences
Salvage Vanguard Theater (SVT) has a fierce commitment to producing, hiring, and collaborating with underserved voices in the community. We achieve this aim by providing Education, Community Dialogues and Radical Accessibility.
ARTReach
ARTReach provides free tickets to teens EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT to all events hosted by the Salvage Vanguard Theater. It also provides internships and playwriting, acting, and devised performance workshops.

Radical Accessibility
Tickets to every single performance at Salvage Vanguard Theater are Pay-What-You-Can. No one is ever turned away. We believe that the arts enrich everyone’s lives. The cost of a ticket should never keep anyone away from the theater. Through-out the year, SVT also offers free workshop performances and open rehearsals. SVT provides ASL interpreted and audio described performances for each of their productions.
