The Hashtag OpenYourLobby, And Theatres Bearing Witness

THEATRE Posted: June 8, 2020 4:00 am

Then New York Theatre Workshop opened its doors to provide water and food and bathrooms for protesters, and a hashtag, and a campaign, was born. “In just a week, what started as one theater opening their doors to 64 theaters around the country opening their doors goes to show how easy you can change an industry. Not by waiting for them to do the right thing, but by artists pressuring them to do so.” – Token Theatre Friends
