Much truth here. Now go see a play at a DC Metro Area theatre, Rep Stage in Columbia MD, "The Piano Teacher" by Julia Cho, directed by Kasi Campbell. Closes Sunday...www.repstage.org
See what one award winning young female Korean-American playwright is writing. Directed by a female director as well. Here is some programming everyone should get behind. Enjoy!
Roaring with laughter. Does anyone else remember the discussion on the stage on the Intiman, held after Mike Daisey's piece about the state of theatre? Looked ALOT like that panel in DC.
Yes, Tony winning plays make money and both are small cast productions. The real issue is when you look at the seasons of the Regional Theaters, it does not balance out. White male writers are king, which goes along with the white males as artistic directors.
Meanwhile in Seattle we produce a an opera about the Jerry Springer show and can only manage to cast two actors of color with nary a comment about that in any of the reviews.

There may be something wrong with the Tonys, but that's a different discussion. Tony winners sell tickets.
