NEW YORK — Broadway is living up to its old nickname of the Great White Way in more ways than one.
Despite an historic diverse class of Tony nominees this season, Black entertainers and advocates say Broadway is still far too white when it comes to who’s making the key decisions — and who’s sitting in the audience.
Working to push for more diversity and inclusion behind the scenes of the theater industry through community outreach, mentorship and internships, they are hoping for change across the curtained stage — from the actors to the audience, from the producers to the ushers.
