Description
Last season we talked about on-stage representation in contemporary theatre. But what does representation look like behind the scenes and why is it important?

We will discuss all of this and more with playwright Betty Shamieh and artistic director of Boom Arts Tracy Francis as they share their past experiences, insight, and ideas for the future.
