We See You, White American Theatre

https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/We-See-You-White-American-Theater-Publishes-Accountability-Report-Highlighting-Theatres-Taking-Action-20210217

Here’s the latest article. A progress report. I think?
thoughts? Not sure how much progress has been made when there’s no theatre happening...

au contraire, Pierre

I don't think compiling an anonymous and unedited list of demands that range from idealistic to illegal and demanding theaters respond is "direct action"

100%

I just want to be able to read the list, literally. Is there a way to read it in slide form, instead of this stupid magazine format where you have to turn the page and zoom on each one?

UPDATE: I had to download the PDF. Still hurts on the eyes to read though.

They shot themselves in the foot by coupling some reasonable and achievable goals with "demands" that, as others have pointed out, range from unworkable to flat-out illegal. The theater press gives them an inordinate amount of coverage because their flamboyant and ostentatious tone makes good copy. But the loudest voice in the room isn't always the one people actually listen to."

I'm not sure about the regional theatres outside of big cities, but a lot of their (legit, non crazy) requests were taken up by the non profits years ago anyway. Now, Broadway. Broadway itself has a big problem where POC are concerned.
