Podcast appearances and mentions of Marc E Platt

When Covid-19 delivered a disproportionate blow to communities of color, environmental hazards like air pollution, that are all too frequently present in these communities, was one of the contributing factors cited by experts. The idea that race is a factor in determining who has access to resources that allow a community to thrive is not so much news as it is a part of the American story. Today, there is a wider recognition that environmental racism is one of many forms of systemic racism, and that environmental justice and climate change are interconnected problems.Guests:Herman Beavers, Julie Beren Platt and Marc E.

David Stone is a theatre producer. He had his first contact with the theatre business through an internship at Jujamcyn Theaters. Later he worked with Broadway producers Fran and Barry Weisler, before he had his first own production with the 1993 off-Broadway hit Family Secrets. Since 2003, he has produced the musical Wicked together with Marc E. Platt. As of 2012 the show had grossed 250 million USD. He is a member of the Board of Governors of The Broadway League and also the Board of Trustees of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids. Other shows he has produced include The Vagina Monologues, Next to Normal, and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. Hear the stories of those shows as well and a whole lot more including: Who he went to summer camp with (you’ll be amazed) and how they helped shape his theater career. What the theater must do in the face of the new administration (note – we recorded this podcast only two days after the election). How Next to Normal almost didn’t make it to Broadway, and why Dogfight heartbreakingly didn’t. The advice he got from the industry after his FIRST Broadway show closed in only one week (So many people would have given up right then and there). The moment he knew Wicked was going to be a hit (it was a lot later than you think). Happy 100th! Keep up with me: @KenDavenportBway www.theproducersperspective.com  Learn more about your ad choices.
