    GENERAL RESOURCES FOR PARENT ARTISTS

    Parent Artist Advocacy League (PAAL)-Best Practices Handbook: PAAL has compiled the first contributions to their Best Practices Handbook for Parent Artists and Employers, to be available nationally to theatres in the United States. The handbook consists of featured interviews with professional parent artists and supportive institutions translated into guide-sheets and principles that can apply to a wide range of institution levels, from Broadway to regional to festival-size theatres. Topics include the intersectional and intergenerational effects of parent discrimination, true stories of individual parent-artist discrimination and job loss, and research recommendations for reducing discrimination.
