| And... is there any reason to think that today's theater artists might not have similar things to say about the current pandemic? Would we support those works? Are we too deeply "in it" now to imagine how we might react in the future? More than anything, I wonder if the way that AIDS disproportionately affected gay men -- and killed an untold number of gay men working within professional theatre -- made it a more pointed, poignant subject, considering how close to home its horrible wrath was? Is the suffering and death toll of COVID-19 in America -- and its disproportionate impact on a different minority community this time (black and brown working class people) -- too far away from the theater community for us to care about discussing it within new theater works the way we possibly could? - GMB |
