I'll speak up. I shouldn't have been Collins in Rent. I should have said no. I know better now and I'm sorry. I also was favorited in an extreme way and didn't realize until now that that was likely in part because of my race and gender and I should have recognized that then.
when i was a student at LVA, i repeatedly experienced favoritism and witnessed racism from the theatre department and to see white students continue to stay silent about this, even years after graduating, is incredibly disheartening
