Six months ago, the pandemic struck and Broadway went dark. Now, thousands of artists are out of work, and millions of dollars have been lost. If ever there was a need, and a moment, to fix the theater, this is it. https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka ">https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka&q...
On this anniversary, The Times asked its theater critics what those fixes might look like. https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka ">https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka&q...
To build a new theater, we need to break open this canon, making room for people of color to be studied in classrooms and thus, eventually, take their place on contemporary stages, writes @mayabphillips https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka ">https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka&q...
When live theater finally returns, the streamed kind, far from disappearing, must continue in parallel, writes @JesseKGreen https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka ">https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka&q...
For Broadway and much of the American theater, affordable tickets for essential workers is an idea emphatically worth adopting, says @collinshughes https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka ">https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka&q...
Profit-making theaters need to subsidize their nonprofit cousins. How to pull off such a radical idea? Look to professional sports, writes @EVincentelli https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka ">https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka&q...
We should adjust the compact between performer and audience and the relationships among spectators, moving from a model where audience behavior is policed toward one in which engagement — in various forms — is celebrated, says @ASoloski https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka ">https://nyti.ms/2RgWWka&q...
What do the artists and leaders in the theater industry say should change? They offer a range of suggestions: End unpaid internships. Set term limits for leadership staff. Prioritize access and inclusion. https://nyti.ms/2RgYhHD ">https://nyti.ms/2RgYhHD&q...
