Below is a series of very important articles focused on theater compiled by @howlround that are worth a read:

Access Theater stands with our community of Black artists, patrons and audiences. The recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery are only a part of the terrible 400-year history of violence on Black bodies in this country.
Access is committed to being an anti-racist organization and we will continue to stand in solidarity with the Black community.
BLACK LIVES MATTER. 🖤
