| Could Encores! commitment to anti-racism happen strictly with hiring creatives and cast? I mean, what if they did some forgotten Cole Porter or Rodgers and Hart musical with a fully integrated cast and non-white representation on the creative team? | |

| It strikes me that they've already achieved the casting aspect. I recall seeing the re-revival of "Call Me Madam" and my misguided friend how Nikki James could be Mark Evan's sister. | |

| Possibly? Probably? But could you do just "THAT" without it being considered tokenism? Hard to say. The relevant part seems to be, "By working alongside and compensating BIPOC artists, curators, advisors, and consultants to participate in the decision-making process, we will broaden the thinking behind our public-facing activity by engaging professionals who bring a wide range of perspectives and experiences to the discussion." To me, it's the "perspectives and experiences" part that matters, not the "Compensating." The whole explanation behind Billy Porter being called in on this show and the new mandate of "productions where artists reclaim work for our time through their own personal lens" requires that BIPOC artists be allowed to "engage" with the material (which, for all intents and purposes, requires altering it). |
