Channel: HowlRound Theatre Commons
Date: 2018-11-21

StageSource in Boston presents the Gender Explosion Forum—a moderated panel discussion on ways to foster gender diversity in the New England theatre community—livestreaming on the global, commons-based peer produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv Tuesday 20 November 2018 at 6:30 p.m. EST (Boston) / 5:30 p.m. CST (Chicago) / 3:30 p.m. PST (Vancouver) / 23:30 UTC +0 (London)

Panelists represent theatre companies that are leaders in this work, including:

Mark Lunsford, Artistic Producer—American Repertory Theater
Sarah Shampnois, Managing Director—Company One
Lelaina Vogel, Co-Director—The Underlings Theatre Co.

The discussion will be moderated by actor/writer/activist MARGE.

As the world moves rapidly forward, the film and television industries are adapting accordingly while New England theatre remains an overwhelmingly cisgender experience, offering limited opportunities for the transgender and non-binary members of our community.

The StageSource Gender Explosion Initiative seeks to create space for gender diverse theatre.

Join us for a discussion about some simple changes we can make right now to tackle this topic and make our community more inclusive, both onstage and behind the scenes. Learn how together we can enact change and be leaders on this important topic within the New England theatre community.
