“Whether it’s psychosomatic, PTSD, autism, whatever it is, there’s a disability happening onstage. There are actors who can bring authenticity and depth to it that these folks didn’t have the ability to do. It makes me feel like we’ve stepped backwards.” americantheatre.org/2024/04/15/tom…

Who is 'Tommy' for? Associate editor @alli_pierson looks at how the revival of The Who's rock opera misses opportunities to engage with, and subvert, harmful tropes around Deafness and disability. americantheatre.org/2024/04/15/tom…
I’m so happy @alli_pierson wrote this. TheWho’s Tommy is one of the most appalling ableist things I’ve ever witnessed, and having a Broadway revival in 2024 without any disabled actors or consultants is inexcusable. Alli’s well-written piece gets at every issue I have, go read it

Alli is not just a terrific editor, but she also ate on this piece.
Let’s have the conversation, shall we? I’m immensely grateful to my team at AT for allowing me the privilege to say the quiet part out loud, and to all those whose voices and insights made this article possible.
The TOMMY piece I've been waiting to read: a vital disability analysis on the Broadway revival of the rock opera, which was sorely lacking on that perspective.

Proud to announce that the playscript we'll publish in our Summer print issue will be THE TRAVELERS by Luis Alfaro, which had productions at @MagicTheatre and @LatinoTheaterCo.
This was my first ever preview on Broadway and it was pure electricity. Once the actors left, the audience applauded a bare stage for something like two minutes. It was so moving
First preview of Stereophonic ended with the longest standing ovation I’ve ever seen
