American Repertory Theatre has announced casting for its upcoming production of Sherman Edwards and Peter Stone's 1776, directed by Diane Paulus and choreographed by Jeffrey L. Page. The entire multiracial company is made up of artists who identify as female, genderqueer, nonbinary, or trans.

Even Lin Manuel Miranda did not get this Woke when he casted for "Hamilton".

[rktman]

WOW! Sounds like a box office bonanza headed their way.

Gag choke cough ignore

[treetopsandroofs]

Like Hamilton, they’ll stop the performance as many times as possible to berate any prominent non-leftist audience members stupid enough to attend.

[Kozak]

Hard pass.

I suppose there would be at least one benefit if the Covid-19 lockdown was extended.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Is this real, or the Babylon Bee?

Is this some sort of satire?

Assuming it’s real, how do they evaluate the “trans” females; do they have to have gone all the way, had the surgery on their private parts, etc. to prove that they are really female???

Just another attempt to rewrite, and change, history...

entirely naked Communist revisionist historical cast

[BBQToadRibs]

Oh, dear God. Just no.

Gender appropriation

"Assuming it’s real, how do they evaluate the “trans” females; do they have to have gone all the way, had the surgery on their private parts, etc. to prove that they are really female???"

It's transphobic to ask that. If you say you are trans you are trans. /sarc

(And how they really think.)

Maybe we are infested with COVID for a reason.

[a fool in paradise]

Communism kills

[irishjuggler]

This is obnoxious and disliked, you know that.

[a fool in paradise]

historical appropriation

[dfwgator]

“Everyone has AIDS!”

[C19fan]

Wasn’t that the theme of “Rent” or “In The Heights”???????

[DugwayDuke]

Sounds heterosexual phobic to me and discriminatory as well.
