Diversity has come to mean many things these days. If by "diversity" you intend a mission of radical inclusion that infuses each show in myriad ways, then you should pay attention to Mixed Blood Theatre. Jack Reuler's season included plays with LGBT themes, African and Muslim plays, plays about people with disabilities and about immigration. If this one season seems remarkable for its breadth of ideas, it is because it stands out in a long history of Mixed Blood's dedication to being a theater for everyone. To get "everyone" to come, Reuler has established Radical Hospitality, which removes any financial barrier. 1501 S. 4th St., Mpls; 612-338-6131; mixedblood.com
