Cultural Arts and Diversity Resource Center
The Cultural Arts and Diversity Resource Center enhances the cultural climate of the University of California, Santa Cruz and surrounding communities by celebrating diversity. We foster the spirit of unity between cultures by providing outlets for the creative talents of all cultural backgrounds through student productions of professionally and student-written plays. We support these endeavors with funds from Measure 49, providing cultural awareness and diversity, collaborative partnerships, community outreach, retention and recruitment of people of color, and opportunities for leadership and educational development.
Diversity • Cultural Arts • Representation
The Cultural Arts and Diversity Resource Center hosts the only multicultural theater arts troupe in the entire UC system. Every year, Rainbow Theater casts a collective of diverse actors for a multi-faceted 2-week long production of plays dealing with issues pertaining to identity and society through performing arts. Rainbow Theater is a production by the community for the community, engaging UCSC, the larger Santa Cruz community and anybody with a mind and heart willing to listen.
