Resident Artists at The Flea Speak Out About Racism and Culture of Intimidation and Fear

Playbill: The leadership at Off-Off-Broadway institution The Flea has pledged to transform the theatre following two public letters, penned by its resident artists, pointing to a longstanding culture of intimidation and fear. The June 18 statement from The Flea, which accepts full responsibility, follows a June 16 letter signed by The Resident Artists of The Flea and circulated on social media, which pointed to collective experiences rooted in “racism, sexism, gaslighting, disrespect, and abuse.”
