Here are a few articles from last week's Greenpage that might be worth your time...
Could AI-Written Musicals Ever Come To Broadway?
www.broadwayworld.com: Imagine a Broadway where computer-generated musicals, powered by cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology, take center stage. No more waiting for years for a new hit musical to be written and produced, no more limitations on special effects, and no more casting restrictions. This may sound like science fiction, but the reality is that AI is rapidly advancing and has the potential to completely revolutionize the way Broadway musicals are created, produced and experienced. From AI-generated original scores to virtual reality sets, the future of Broadway could be unlike anything we've ever seen before.Oscars 2023: Academy Fails to Nominate Any Female Director
IndieWire: After last year’s record-breaking Best Director win for Jane Campion — who became only the third woman to ever win the Oscar for Best Director, joining Chloé Zhao (“Nomadland” in 2021) and Kathryn Bigelow (“The Hurt Locker” in 2009) — the 2023 Oscar nominations failed to nominate any women in the Best Director category.

The hearing, which was scheduled in the wake of widespread outrage directed at the entertainment giant in the wake of the Taylor Swift Eras Tour ticket sales process in November, featured numerous references to lyrics from the singer.The strength of community
Chicago Reader: At the end of September 2020, I wrote a piece for the Reader titled “Black artistic leaders take charge at several Chicago theaters,” which framed the influx of new (and preexisting) Black leadership in Chicago theater against the backdrop of a historic disruption in the industry. That disruption was powered in part by COVID-19 leading to budget cuts and mass layoffs, and in part by intense public criticism of the shortcomings of many predominantly white theater institutions, with a call to action for faster and more concrete gains in racial equity in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement’s impact on the arts sector.How to Design a More Just Theatre Field
AMERICAN THEATRE: What is the role of race in theatrical design? An innovative symposium at the Park Avenue Armory a few weekends ago asked visitors to consider the question. As part of the venue’s conversation series, Making Space at the Armory, “Sound & Color: The Future of Race in Design” brought together artists and designers working across the disciplines of costume, lighting, set, and sound for a groundbreaking collaborative enterprise.
