SMIDGEON TO THE RESCUE!

by Samm Madsen, dramaturg

Theatre is a great place for diverse bodies and minds- it’s all about different stories and differences are interesting! For those of us who want to assemble a diverse cast and crew, it can be intimidating to welcome everyone in- mainly because we don’t want to accidentally offend someone by using the wrong words, or by not providing the correct accommodations. It has never been easier to be inclusive, though, and after sitting down with Talleri McRae, I have never been more motivated to create an inclusive theatre environment, both on and off the stage. For those who want just a quick peek into her wisdom, I assembled five of the top tips I pulled out of the interview, although I highly suggest going through the whole thing.

Meta here! Lyf and I have become such great friends that we made up our own secret code.

MY OWN MUSICAL THEME CONTEST

Backstory: Daedalus was a talented artisan who built a Labyrinth (or big maze) for the King of Crete, King Minos. King Minos wanted a Labyrinth to keep the Minotaur (half man, half bull) imprisoned in, and King Minos would feed humans to it to keep it alive. In order to keep the secret of how to escape the Labyrinth safe, King Minos imprisoned Daedalus on an island and made sure no boats sailed near him to rescue him. Daedalus has been a prisoner for several years on the island before the myth by Ovid begins.
