| Really poor argumentative style--why should any poster be able to name a specific woman, any more than a specific man? And if you look at the theatrical scene over the past twenty years, Broadway, off, regional, I am sure you would come up with any number of women who might have been approached. That's like saying, we'd LOVE to hire minorities--we just can't seem to find ANY! Disingenuous and dishonest. If women were approached and said they didn't have any interest in working on a project that makes prostitution appear to be an appealing job, THAT I could understand. |

| We SHOULD name specific men. Art isn't paint by numbers. Let's talk about artists we'd really like to get a chance. And maybe women did turn it down. Do we know? | |

| When you read across the board that the creative team of a new 21st century musical - director, choreographer, set designer, costume designer, lighting designer and sound designer are all male, you have to infer that the composition (not unlike a 1960's era boardroom) is more out of habit and comfortability (and why ruin a good thing, right?) than talent. It's understandable that no one wants to cede creative power and an opportunity; but sometimes the cycle needs to be broken conscientiously and deliberately. Producers and directors have the power to change this. | |
