@AmericanTheatre Such a beautiful Play! Thank you for hosting it
Alli is not just a terrific editor, but she also ate on this piece.
Let’s have the conversation, shall we? I’m immensely grateful to my team at AT for allowing me the privilege to say the quiet part out loud, and to all those whose voices and insights made this article possible.
The TOMMY piece I've been waiting to read: a vital disability analysis on the Broadway revival of the rock opera, which was sorely lacking on that perspective.
Who is 'Tommy' for? Associate editor @alli_pierson looks at how the revival of The Who's rock opera misses opportunities to engage with, and subvert, harmful tropes around Deafness and disability. americantheatre.org/2024/04/15/tom…
This is an incredibly well-reported piece. As a disabled person working full time in disability arts, this really highlights missteps that artistic leaders make when their access coordinators don’t get to have any artistic input and are only meant to coordinate patron experience

I’m so happy @alli_pierson wrote this. TheWho’s Tommy is one of the most appalling ableist things I’ve ever witnessed, and having a Broadway revival in 2024 without any disabled actors or consultants is inexcusable. Alli’s well-written piece gets at every issue I have, go read it

A bracing, important piece. My colleague Alli Pierson worked incredibly hard to get this right, and I think she nailed it.

henrik & heidi & anton & amy is the greatest headline of all time
Why did Amy Herzog and Heidi Schreck take time out of writing their own plays to adapt AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE and UNCLE VANYA, respectively, for Broadway? They talk to editor @RobKendt about what they learned about these plays, and about themselves. americantheatre.org/2024/04/11/hen…

Proud to announce that the playscript we'll publish in our Summer print issue will be THE TRAVELERS by Luis Alfaro, which had productions at @MagicTheatre and @LatinoTheaterCo.
This was my first ever preview on Broadway and it was pure electricity. Once the actors left, the audience applauded a bare stage for something like two minutes. It was so moving
But I actually want this 😠
