2: Changing the Face of Bay Area Theatre (w/ Gary Stanford Jr.)

TheatreWorld Presents with Xandra And Noah

This week we spoke with Gary Stanford Jr., an actor/director/choreographer/activist who has worked with seemingly every theatre company in the Bay Area! His latest mission has been serving on the boards of several local theatres, spearheading the push for diversity and antiracism in the theatre community. We discuss the changing tides of racial disparity in theatre, the importance of representation at the gatekeeping level, and his vision for the future of equitable theatre. Plus, a lighthearted discussion about the joys of getting booed on stage! Catch Gary as Tom Collins in Marin Musical Theatre Company’s RENT (opens March 17), Choreographing Mamma Mia at Capuchino High School (opens March 9), and leading workshops as the Interim Educational Director at 42nd St. Moon!
