DIVERSITY IN THE AMERICAN THEATRE

REACHING FOR DIVERSITY in the American Theatre After reading comments sent to me by Nancy of Towne Street Theatre: NO MORE BLACK PRODUCTIONS OF TENNESEE WILLIAMS UNTIL THERE ARE WHITE PRODUCTIONS OF AUGUST WILSON. Thanks to Harriet and you N, for sharing an old discussion with new but worn ideas. What is often missed or not clearly stated is that an actor with a broad range of cultural experiences can play a character in many cultures (stories) -- but a play (story) born out of a specific cultural identity cannot play many actors: not and maintain the integrity of the culture. To achieve diversity in the American Theatre all cultures must have a presence.
