Dear White American Theatre

Broadway has been rocked, and not in the Queen musical kind of way. This Summer, Broadway BIPOC performers, writers, directors, and technicians banded together and wrote a letter to Broadway calling for change in an effort to make Broadway a more inclusive and actively anti-racist place for all employees. That letter began with the powerful words “Dear White American Theatre.” In this episode, we talk to a culture critic all about how Broadway is dealing with this letter, changes he has seen, and what the future holds for The Great White Way (no pun intended).Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is:Alana- Melanin Moments (@melanin_moments_)- wrapping paper featuring people of Color with a philanthropic twist (melaninmoments.com)Jac- Asian Veggies (@asian_veggies)- delicious, nutritious Asian veggies delivered to your door (asian-veggies.com)Keep Up With Jose Solis:Twitter: @josesolismayenListen to Token Theatre Friends Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/token-theatre-friends/id1516665246https://www.americantheatre.org/2020/10/07/jose-solis-the-critic-as-cheerleader-and-critics-lab-leader/Find us on Instagram: @blackandyellowpodcastAlana J.
