| Does anybody really think the lightness or darkness of a person’s skincolor should determine if they’re hired to direct an original musical? The skills and talents and track record are so much more important than the look or ancestry of a director. | |

| In this case, the question wasn't about skin color but about cultural awareness and authenticity. Absolutely, a black or brown director would be preferable to direct black and brown culture on stage. | |

| No... I think you FIND a director capable or with the right vision, and especially *these days*, if it's a black story it behooves you to find a black director to tell the story otherwise you're basically saying there were no black director capable. | |
