Peter Marks, one of the most vibrant and engaged voices in theater criticism, is taking the buyout from the Washington Post, and will be leaving the paper at the end of this year. Rejoice for him, if you will, but it's a cause for deep mourning for theater lovers.

It's chilling to think of the impact not having a lead theater critic in the paper of record for the nation's capital will have on our local and national theater field. Of all the stories being told about the theater's re-opening recovery, the crisis in arts journalism is key.

Speak out against those who want to hide stories about who we are and who we love; what we can know and what we can think; the narratives we can tell, the books and scripts we can read, and the parts we can play. Theatre can and must portray the great variety of life, everywhere.

As you watch the #TonyAwards, keep in mind that there are people and politicians who want to prevent both students and adults from performing some of the very plays nominated and honored tonight and elsewhere. We must speak out loudly for art & expression and against censorship.

This is how one evangelises form.
Make it.
Make it accessible.
Make it anywhere you can.
Don't explain to producers why the thing thing they like is stupid. Show them your thing is a thing they like. #2amt

"No honest person can now deny that Trump is an enemy of the Constitution." The fact that the majority of Republicans are STILL silent about Trump's call to terminate the U.S. Constitution should enrage all of us.

Nataki Garrett, the artistic director of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, noted that it was in grad school when she experienced the gatekeeping of Shakespeare and realized that no one would hire her to direct an early modern play because of her identity. #ShakeRace 1/
The Oregon Shakespeare Festival must expand its reach to survive — but its artistic director has received pushback, and even death threats. n.pr/3Sz8InO

Theater needs to learn how to survive in this pandemic. They shut out so many options to innovate, and so here we are. Again.
No more ahead in innovation than March 2020. Except now with a 2yr history of shutting out artists who had alternative ways of telling live stories.
