Just because a Black playwright creates a play doesn t mean a Black audience will like it.
This, and other insights, are coming to the fore as Kate Galvin, artistic director at Cardinal Stage, organizes her new artistic advisory committee.
Galvin has experience in listening to opinions and, sometimes, hearing critiques of her theatrical ideas. For nearly seven years she participated in festival committees with the National Alliance for Musical Theatre, in New York. Founded in 1985, the alliance is a not-for-profit organization in 33 states and abroad. Different theaters all over the country battle it out to decide which shows go into the festival, she said in a Zoom interview.
