"The fact that there isn't a black Marc Bruni for something like this ... he didn't make a splash as a hot new director, he was the assistant and associate director of two major (though mediocre) directors for a decade before he got a chance taken on his for Beautiful"
Des's team includes a black Assistant Director, so the industry is implementing the hiring practices that you are asking for but not recognizing. This AD has been with the show since the California production. Perhaps in another decade, she will be able to step forward and direct a Broadway show of her own, though she is in no way ready for that just yet. |
