December 12, 2021—I was encouraged when I learned earlier this year of the nationwide search launched by The Broadway League to hire its first-ever Director of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.
In my opinion, that was a signal that The League recognized the essential need to establish this position to address the racial and social justice issues raised over the years; issues that received nationwide attention in 2020 with the online posting of the declaration “We See You, White American Theatre.”
The coalition of Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) artists behind “We See You, White American Theatre” has since expanded its efforts to foster a new “social contract for work environments that care for and sustain artistry and lives,” and it includes “Principles for Building Anti-Racist Theatre Systems.”
