How about filling the audiences with more non-white people too? There might be a need for audience cultivation. Of course, the prices are outrageous for everybody nowadays, so that's a problem. If a steady stream of customers were projected to be buying tickets for months and months ahead for "Shufflin' Along" like the financial projections for whoever does the accounting for "The Lion King" or "The Phantom of the Opera", "Shufflin' Along" would still be playing.
Also, there are some Actors Equity auditions (EPA - Equity Principal auditions) for shows that specifically call for various specific non-Caucasian ethnicities; many times--not for "Hamilton" or "Lion King" usually-- though auditions have plenty of times available to sign up to be seen (i.e. they are sparsely attended). |
