I'm speaking to how Encores is specifically dealing with the conundrum, which, this season has been to A. resurrect one unbeloved show about a Black family and have creators of color rework it to the point where they didn't even provide bios of the original creative team in the Playbill and B. Resurrect another show with no creators of color involved and ask a creator of color to redo THAT. I have been pretty careful to neither condemn nor endorse the action that they took. But it's obvious that that is their current tact. Whether you think it's correct or not is your opinion and you have a right to it . But simply acknowledging facts that are prima facie evident is not an expression of an opinion.

I'm with you there. Though I am a bit, at this point, more willing to sprinkle in some condemnation, if not at the intention or spirit of the intention... then at the execution, or what the execution retroactively tells us about the limits of or holes in their plan/intention/mission, and the misguided nature of this being the new mission of Encores specifically.
