Does the American Theater Have the Same Problem as the GOP?

HowlRound: Since the polls closed on election day, the fate of the Republican Party remains front-page news. “Demographics will doom Republican Party,” the Chicago Sun-Times blared the day after the election. “The American Electorate Has Changed, and There's No Turning Back,” the National Journal warned. President Obama won reelection with his “coalition of the ascendant” a newly minted term that acknowledges the changing demographics of our nation. This coalition is made up of groups who voted heavily in favor of Obama, and whose population will continue to increase over the next generation: Millennials, Latinos, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, and college educated whites, particularly women.
