Here are a few posts from last week's Greenpage that might be worth your time...
New IATSE Contract: Everything We Know
Variety: The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees is beginning to roll out more details of its tentative contract with major film and television studios to its members, as it looks to build support for a ratification vote.
Directors of Inclusion in Theatre Need to be more than Symbolic Positions
OnStage Blog: Last year, when I finally got the call that I had been hired, I was over the moon. Having worked in other industries, but always being a theater fan, this seemed like a dream come true. The position I was hired for was described as being a key part of leadership discussions on how to improve not only how we cast shows, but also hire for other positions, and how we value the contributions of those employed by us going forward.
Opinion: Is It Time for Performers to Renegotiate the Eight-Show Week?
TheaterMania: Broadway is back — and so are the insane schedules that performers (and crews) must deal with. Many productions have returned to eight-show weeks and announced grueling holiday schedules with 10 shows or more before a night off.

How to Be an Antiracist Theatremaker
AMERICAN THEATRE: As live, in-person theatre begins to return, many artists and administrators are focusing on the ways they can make this moment count—to come back to a changed industry rather than business as usual. In September, New York City’s Playwrights Realm gathered of a cohort of theatre professionals to wrestle with the question, What Does Anti-Racist Producing Look Like?

Gender Casting: Theatre Educators in the United States Need to Pay Attention to Title IX Developments

This summer, Laurel Hubbard made news as the first transgender woman to compete in the Olympics. Many celebrated this highly publicized, international victory for transgender people. However, just a few months before, on a much smaller, more local stage, the rights of transgender students were being threatened. In March, Tennessee governor Bill Lee joined like-minded officials to pass a law that requires students participating on a girls’ or boys’ sports team to show a birth certificate to prove their assigned sex.
