With panelists Sara Ochs and Max Wojtanowicz. Moderated by Wendy Knox.

May 12 AT 7PM on FACEBOOK LIVE

This episode of Frankly Speaking looks at decolonizing musical theatre, asking the question, “Are there musicals (and plays) that simply shouldn’t be done today because of their racial/social content?”
The public is invited to participate in a Q&A following the discussion on Facebook Live.
FRANKLY SPEAKING: What’s Up With That? will be on Facebook Live monthly with discussions between theatre artists about the critical issues facing the arts, culture, and society.

Part of Frank Theatre’s mission is to create work that “explores ideas and issues of social, political and/or cultural concern.” Although that mission cannot be accomplished on the stage during COVID, Frank Theatre believes in the importance of continuing to have conversations that question the world we live in. Taking the moniker from Frank’s regular newsletter, “FRANKLY SPEAKING: What’s Up With That?” invites the public to join in an exploration of the kinds of questions that drive and inform the work that Frank typically puts on stage
