WOOHOO! We’re finally starting to talk about arts-funding. It may be a little late, however, I think it’s definitely better late than never within this particular situation. Currently, the biggest thing preventing arts funding from actually being approved through the senate, is the fact that we’re still waiting to determine if the senate has a democratic majority or a republican majority. And that will greatly influence the situation. If you’re reading this comment for some inspiration, if you have the power to participate in the runoff election for two Senate races in Georgia, please please please do. It's so important. While this article is also talking about the positive things the Broadway League is trying to do to lobby for the Save Our Stages Act, they still have chosen to not respond to We See You White American Theater. I know money is important, but money means nothing if you have no people to pay to put up the work.
