Producing Artistic Director of East West Players Tim Dang just announced a 'call to action' addressing the SoCal theatre community and companies across the United States 'demanding equity, diversity and inclusion' with a '51% Preparedness Plan for the American Theatre.' The plan asks theaters to make sure, over the course of the next five years, that both their organization's artists and production personnel will be at least 51 percent people of color, women, or under 35 years of age. According to the Los Angeles Times, the announcement has received some pushback from those arguing that the plan 'would institute quotas and violate state and federal employment laws.'
