FEEDBACK

As a white playwright it never occurred to me to select a director on the basis of race. I chose my director, the multitalented Ted Lange, for several plays, including “Moon Shine!” and “An Occasional Sin,” because he is a really wonderful director and it is a bonus that he is black. He understands not only comedy but that we humans are pretty much the same inside and out.

I have had great white directors and women directors and they all come to the theater with open minds and hearts. I encourage all of us to be more open and colorblind.

Sheldon Epps has done terrific work as artistic director of the Pasadena Playhouse, and he is really colorblind. Thank goodness.

I found this article to be offensive. Should Christian directors be given Arthur Miller, Neil Simon and other Jewish playwrights’ work? The only question should be: Can this director interpret the playwright correctly?
