Having a Fijian Indian & South Asian origin, at NAIDU Theatre Co we are passionate about advocating for unity in diversity from our work in our community to the shows we produce onstage - this is what leads us, and we take full accountability and ownership of our work. Diversity is not just race, gender, ethnicity and multiculturalism - it is the representation of ALL people.

All ages, abilities & disabilities, gender / fluid gender, binary / non binary, LGQBI+, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, education, marital status, language, and physical appearance are what we promote and fight for.
