Ep #5: "Should Actors Be Cast Based on Personal Identity?"

This week, Chris hands the reins to guest host Ashley Griffin who follows up on her article "Should Actors Be Cast Based on Personal Identity?", which you can read on OnStage Blog here. The issue of casting based on personal identity is a complex and nuanced one. But the bottom line is we can’t even begin to have a conversation about those issues until the playing field is significantly evened out.

Ashley is also the host of the podcast "Stage Directions" on the OnStage Blog Podcast Network. You find more information about Ashley's work at www.ashleygriffinofficial.com
