Kira Troilo

Kira Troilo (she/her) is a Boston-based creative, the CEO and founder of Art & Soul Consulting, and the creator and founder of Inclusive Stages®. A BFA graduate from Emerson College, Kira also holds an HR Essentials certificate from eCornell and is set to be a member of the 2024 ACOM cohort through American Repertory Theatre at Harvard University. She was also recently awarded the distinguished Community Impact Award for SpeakEasy Stage Company’s 2024 gala. Kira’s groundbreaking EDI work was recently featured in American Theatre Magazine. Kira’s consulting work for dozens of organizations has taken her both nationally and internationally. In summer of 2023, she provided tailored support for the world premiere of "Summer Stock: The Musical" at Goodspeed Opera House, starring Corbin Bleu. In the winter of 2024, she provided tailored support for Something Rotten! at Stratford Festival in Canada.

Kira has also crafted and shared her own, fully-tailored EDI workshop and development sessions with adjudicators, arts educators, theater ushers and volunteers, and boards of directors. In April 2024, Kira launched the first season of her new podcast, “Inclusive Stages”, named for her newly crafted framework. With her cohort certification and membership programs, her goal is to standardize the organizational work of EDI for theater and the arts, and to make Inclusion Consultants as common and as crucial as stage managers for productions worldwide.
