Looking harder for more diverse theater, Part 2
On this podcast, Lindsay, Maxamoo’s founder, Nicole from Mildly Bitter’s Musings, and Mike Lew, a playwright and co-director of the Ma-Yi Writers Lab, discuss upcoming productions penned by playwrights of color.
We had so much to say we split this episode in half. This is the second of two parts; for the first part click here.
Enjoy the show and be sure to check out the fundraiser Ma-Yi Theater is hosting on February 17, 2014 at Playwrights Horizons to raise money for victims of Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda in the Philippines. Click here for more information about the fundraiser.
