Rhiannon Collett Thought 3 Your Entirely White Theatre Season

Good morning - Rhiannon Collett here with my third thought. I've been thinking a lot about diversity in theatre this week & how diversity on stage breeds empathy. And by diversity on stage, I don't mean one black, indigenous or person of colour tokenized per season, per show. I'm talking about the people who make the artistic decisions. I am talking about directors and playwrights. Having an entirely white theatre season should be seen as nothing less than a failure. Having an entirely white theatre season is the upholding of white supremacy in our arts institutions. Call it like it is.
