We are back, people!

Tonight, we kick off the new weekly format of The Producer’s Perspective LIVE! with my friend and uber-talented theatermaker, Asmeret Ghebremichael. For the last 20 years, Asmeret has been performing in shows on Broadway like Legally Blonde, Wicked, Elf, Spamalot, The Book of Mormon (on Broadway and in The West End), and more. (I first became aware of her super skills in the late-night improv hit, Don’t Quit Your Night Job.)

I’ve even been lucky enough to have her in a few readings of mine over the years.  And I’ve always known she has a fantastic voice.

But in the last few weeks, she has used that voice to sing out some of the most authentic, emotional, and important thoughts about the issues facing Black people and Black performers.

Click here to watch her Instagram Live interview with Josh Gad, and click here to read her opinion piece for Broadway News titled, “Opinion: I’m tired of being the token Black friend.”

Tonight at 8pm EDT, she and I will talk about how she got to Broadway, what it was like when she got here, and what she sees for the future.

And this week, all proceeds will benefit the Broadway Advocacy Coalition.

So click here to join us TONIGHT at 8pm EDT!

And look who is joining us over the next few weeks! (Stay tuned for the Altar Boyz reunion, which will get sandwiched in between the super gets below soon!)
