I Don’t Know How They Do It! lifts the curtain on the often invisible caregiving labor that many artists do to support their families and their artistic practices. Each month, we publish a week in the life of a theatre professional with caregiving responsibilities. In the variety of caregiving and artistic perspectives captured—from young children to elderly parents, from tech week to school vacation week—I Don’t Know How They Do It! makes visible the range and experience of the caregiving artists working in theatre today. We hope to foster solidarity among artist caregivers, inspire advocacy toward a field where all artist caregivers are embraced in their fullness, and celebrate the hard work that makes the rest of us say “I don’t know how they do it!"

There’s a pattern in the American theatre that mirrors centuries of broken treaties, forgotten promises, and surface-level gestures of inclusion. By examining decades-long patterns of silencing Native voices that have protested work that has negatively impacted our sovereignty, our continued resistance to stereotypes, and our humanity, the American theatre will finally break the last treaty. This series aims to expose how the theatre's complicity in cultural silencing extends far beyond simple oversight and is a continuation of colonial violence that demands immediate and sustained action. It will offer community-generated, tangible best practices for comprehensive Native American representation. Let’s move forward, better and together.
