RECORDED: 7/14/2020
Rodney Earl Jackson, Jr. and Marcelo Javier are two lifelong friends who formed the critically-and-audience-acclaimed SFBATCO (San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Company). In this episode, they join Joel and Erin to discuss the mission of their company and the state of the arts.
Topics include: performative allyship; "collective amnesia" and "white savior bullsh*t"; Broadway (and off-off-off Broadway) experiences; the definitive productions of SFBATCO; the eternal struggle between art and finance; a battle with MTI; the homeopathic medicine of theatre; the possibilities of theatre companies collaborating instead of battling; financial compensation for artistic consultation; the fight against cynicism; a warning for theatre companies that don't embrace change; and the few Bay Area theatre companies that are actually "walking the walk".
Plus: Erin gives his first Videotape Non-Recommendation, and Joel reflects on (and struggles with) three years of sobriety.
