I am always happy to see Asian American and Pacific Islanders having chances to be highlighted for increased visibility within the theatre industry. I liked reading the different works to come from the playwrights, especially Velina Haas Houston who’s play was also produced at East West Players who I did as my affinity theatre for a school paper. I read about the Roundabout Theatre’s Refocus Program while researching for an affinity theatre in Anti Racist and Equitable Practices class but didn’t think it qualified for the project seeing as the Refocus Program is well–a program, and the Roundabout theatre was never an affinity theatre to begin with. Nevertheless it’s interesting to see initiatives and timelines of a theatre that begins to do affinity work vs affinity theatres in terms of looking at their inclusivity and diversity statements.
