This in 1: the podcast episode of mini-series, Changing the Landscape: Examining Race in Theatrical Design, guest-hosted by lighting designer Alan Edwards, discusses barriers to entry later in the journey toward success as a designer, with barricades beginning as early as grade school. In this episode, Edwards speaks with three high school arts teachers in Rochester, New York: Christine Sargent, Trish Annese, and Marcy Gamzon. These educators share what they’ve seen in their decades of experience, what they know now that they didn’t know then, and what we can do to make this career more available to people of color, and young people in general.
