I hate that this happened to you but I saw it coming.
The Friday after the 2016 election, Mike Pence, the embodiment of Midwest Values, went to see Hamilton. After the show, the actors came out and scolded the duly elected VP because they believed their thoughts were superior to his.
I love and have supported the Arts for forever. I grew up on NYC. I’ve visited every museum, have been to hundreds of shows. My parents encouraged the Arts to myself and my brothers and sister at a young age. My very first show was Beatlemania at the Winter Garden Theater back in 1978,
My husband and I helped both our daughters pursue Fine Arts Degrees.
The oldest is fairing better than the youngest - she’s an unemployed actress that continues to send audition reels out for any acting job in pursuit of her Broadway Dream.
I think it will be next to impossible for her to achieve this just based on her skin color alone.
And it seems, post Covid, Broadway is only hiring the most seasoned performers, the most famous Hollywood stars, hoping to woo back the very demographic they scolded 8 years ago.
It’s little consolation now Clifton but ultimately, history will not be kind to your antagonists.
Regardless, I for one can’t wait to see your Thomas Sowell project!
Speaking of, what is the status of the project??!
You are a treasure Clifton. That is all.
