Theatre For All Audiences
Today there was some debate on who theatre was for. It seems like a ridiculous question, but the internet ran with it. What do you think tumblrverse? Is theatre just for wealthy white folk? Or should it be for everyone? Here’s a longer blog of what I thought of this tonight, while watching the great Broadway show ‘Stick Fly’ ...

Leave Bernadette Alone!
Bernadette Peters is incredible. She commits to parts completely. When male actors do this, they are described as being totally invested. When women actors do this, they are described as being too emotional. I love her in Follies. I loved her in Gypsy.
