I also saw it recently and don’t know that I’d call it “sadly still the same” but to each their own. I think there is some fantastic stuff happening here. Negga, Gray, Dizzia and Thornton all give really amazing performances.

Craig is fine and actually grew on me, and let’s just say his black pants deserve a special Supporting The Actor nomination.

Knowing the show was going to be Sam Gold Divisive, I went in really open minded and to my sur

I just want to thank the OP for starting this conversation and asking a question that, in the context of an internet chat board, is probably very difficult to phrase "the right way". Sometimes our good intentions and very deliberate attempts to get it right can be misconstrued as offensive or ignorant - we are learning as we go and never intend to do additional harm.

And thank you to everyone who is responding kindly with helpful information and resources. Thank you for your

My very uninformed thoughts: I would think that while the show was selling out pre-pandemic and reportedly had a solid advance, most of that probably had to be refunded. And with the Rudin fiasco, it may be harder finding a new producer to come aboard, especially since they'd have to raise money for a show that had polarizing reviews and the controversy over Ramasar. That's a lot of risk exposure for fundraising. Mockingbird and Mormon were already well-established hits, so finding a

I would like to see a proposed plan on paper from the folks who are demanding AEA do something. The least they can do is present us with a highly detailed, point-by-point breakdown of exactly what they think AEA should be doing. Not just demand "transparency" or "justice" or shout in all caps - I'm talking big picture stuff with specific, measurable results and a workable timetable. On workplace safety and harassment - breaking out expectations for a COVID-19 work

Wait--you're saying Nick's insurance won't cover it because it's COVID?? Is this an across the board thing for everyone's insurance or does actor union insurance not cover enough or what? I had assumed the money was more for rehab costs.


Insurance, assuming he has coverage, likely covers a portion of his treatments. But regardless of the outcome, the family will incur tremendous expenses. Besides medical treatment, physical therapy, prosthesi

It’s sad that the protesters have taken to cyber-stalking and harassing other company members in attempt to fuel discord backstage. At least the production is taking the safety concerns of company members into account by giving them access to resources to protect their privacy and security, and the union, while issuing a weak statement otherwise, is trying to support that move. I can only imagine that the AEA hotline will be flooded with lots of fake calls from people pre

Like it or not, he's a performer and his behavior is under public scrutiny. And just because the woman in question has forgiven him doesn't mean that the public has to. We're allowed to have opinions about it, and to act on our opinions provided that our actions are legal.

And, again, not saying she or anyone else is brainwashed. I'm saying that their defending him is no proof of innocence or that his behavior was okay.

For those asking why we're
