“It feels emotional to us because this happened at Playwrights; it happened under Jeremy O. Harris. We feel these people to be our allies—they are our allies. Our issue is not with each other but with a system that considers one group central and the others as disposable.” @newyorker.com #TheaterSKY

Women are reclaiming their place in baseball
Many Americans see baseball as a sport for men and softball as a sport for women. It wasn’t always this way in the US – and it isn’t that way in the rest of the world.
