The Flea kills off the Bats

"The company states that it intends to implement new programs and organizational designs—ones where 'anti-oppression will be the rubric'—in 2021. That promise, however, is met with skepticism by the artists, with news of their dismissal arriving on the heels of a public reckoning; in the past six months, former and current artists have united to speak out about a culture of racial inequality and intimidation at the institution."

Sounds like The Flea has a tough road ahead of it.. It'll be interesting to see what happens next. I'm a little surprised by all this because the company has a Black artistic director and a number of the productions in the last season or two highlighted the work of BIPOC writers and performers.
