Hi,
I have to make an essay about the problems that colored musical singers have to overcome and so for my course of musicaltheater and I don't know how to come in contact with the right people to give me some answers. I'm myself colored. Can somebody please help out with this? If I have some email adresses, I can send you my listing with questions.

Many, many thanks,

Saar

So I see from your profile that you live in the Netherlands. I'm not sure why you have posted this on the Chicago message board, and I am not a person of color, but I remind folks that they can send you private messages through your BroadwayWorld profile address if they would like to.

I would assume that you will be covering topics such as these: colorblind casting, being or not being the "right type" for roles originaly written for performers of color, finding theaters who produce shows about ethnic issues/people, and the broader issues of discrimination in hiring and in social situations.

I hope this helps.--PWT
