Welcome back to part II of my conversation with Iris! Did you see hir in the West Side Story trailer? Something’s coming, something good. West Side Story premieres December 10th. Plus, you can catch Iris this June in the new Netflix animated series: Ridley Jones. Last week I helped moderate a panel called “Trans Representation on Broadway: A response to Trans erasure in JLP." I recommend watching it to stay informed on what’s happening in the Broadway community. You can find it on Dr. Drama’s YouTube channel and it’s linked in the SHO notes.

In addition to checking out Iris on social media, I highly recommend reading this story by Christian Lewis: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back; Broadway's Jagged Little Journey Toward Nonbinary Inclusion.

Broadway SHOs are announcing their new opening dates. While we’re excited to see everyone get back to work, we must stay vigilant in our calls to make theatre a safe space for everyone involved. We need reports on how companies will be enacting anti-racist, anti-transphobia, anti-abelism and anti-abuse work. We can’t go back, we must move forward. 

Wear a mask, get your vaccine, be safe and let’s take care of ourselves.
