“Hamilton' creator Lin-Manuel Miranda hopes to increase diversity on Broadway and in theaters across the country with a new initiative announced Thursday.
Lin-Manuel Miranda, creator of the award-winning Broadway musical"Hamilton," receives a standing ovation at the ending of the play's premiere held at the Santurce Fine Arts Center, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Jan. 11, 2019.
"People keep saying, ‘We can’t find anyone,’ but we’re out there," said Chin, who is currently working on several projects, including "Turandot" for the Washington National Opera and the new Hunter S. Thompson musical for La Jolla Playhouse. "We just have to be found. Having us all in one place is great for us to be seen."
Adam Hyndman, R.I.S.E. Network’s project director, said it will launch Thursday with nearly 1,000 theater professionals in the directory and will look to expand after its launch. "They understand the complexities of pipeline issues, that it’s not just about putting names in a database," Nanus said. "It’s about understanding how to support people holistically and how to make connections between people who want to work and people looking for team members."
