MTC's Friedman Theatre- The Whitest Stage on Broadway — Page 3

The OP has been proven wrong, but if you don't like what they have to offer, don't go to that theater. They don't have to provide shows with tons of diversity, they will offer what will sell to their base. Seeing shows about white, rich people works for them I guess.

"You said this thread was "moot" despite the fact the topic had broadened significantly."

Not really since we are still talking about the same theater. I will retract and say the original statement posed by the OP is now moot.

"As long as we're being anecdotal, the preview of On The Town I saw last week featured ONE (1) non white audience member in the orchestra section."

Since your demographics page was nothing but a racist posting a racist photo, that has nothing to do with anything theater-wise, here are some actual demographics on who attends Broadway theater. The audience to "On The Town" shouldn't shock you.


Actual demographics

I really don't believe that "playing to their base" has anything to do with diversity. Their audience, rather sophisticated, will attend an accomplished production whether it's exploring the African-American, Asian, WASP, Indian, LBGT or whatever other experience. Build it well and they will come, period.
