Lear deBessonet, of Great Faith.

Congratulations to Heidi Schreck whose play What the Constitution Means to Me is transferring to Broadway (previews begin March 14th!)!! Her play-- where she is both author and star-- will be the only play by a woman (new or revival) on Broadway this spring. She will also be only the third woman to have a play as part of the 2018/19 season. And this is only the 3rd time in 15 seasons that there have been 3 new plays by women in one season (in that same 15 season time span, there have been 3 seasons with only 1 new play by a woman and 2 seasons with 0). AND she holds the distinction of being The Interval's first-ever person of the year(s) (you can read her interview here)! Because genius work by women belongs on Broadway-- and because we all deserve to be in the preamble.

"The facts don’t change. But my understanding of them does or my emotional relationship to them does. But that is another deep impulse in the show: how do we know what is true? And how difficult it is and how much care and rigor it requires to understand the true story of something." -- Heidi Schreck (x)

It is long past time for the theatre community to look at what type of community it truly is and for individuals with a platform to speak up and no longer tacitly condone behavior and views that create a workplace where women are not valued. This responsibility should not be disproportionately laid at the feet of women, who, in general, have less job security in the theatre to begin with. It’s up to everyone... Not for the sake of men like Adam Guettel, but for the young people watching and for the people who have stories that are complicated and hard to explain or stories that are criminal and difficult to tell, and for the people who are left wondering, 'If people couldn’t say something when it’s easy, will they ever say something when it’s hard?'
