Whitewashing our history is not ok. By highlighting white actors & not prioritizing BIPOC - WHO THIS STORY IS ABOUT, you participate in the erasure of their stories.

This is absolutely disgusting behavior and absolutely needs to be addressed.

My daughter participated in the first auditions held for West Side Story by LMT. She is AfroLatinx and shared her story of the egregious actions by the director and her enablers. I stand with my daughter and all POC who were subjected to this company's white supremacist culture. It's disappointing that Delta would allow their resources to be used to propagate theater's problematic, damaging and exclusionary history of erasure. Delta has done better. My daughter had a very rewarding and inclusive experience in the Delta drama department. Were there bumps on the road, of course, and dialogue was encouraged, not punished. Delta knows better and has done better. Keep going forward and not backward. Uphold better standards and expect the same from those who desire to use Delta's resources.

A production about a race war should not be depicted through a mix of races that don’t pertain to the main story line. Especially when the main message of the show is the violent conflict caused by the nationalism of each heritage that both groups represent.

Racism should not be tolerated anywhere, much less a college campus.

Will not support a show and cast of people who think it’s okay to put their actors in brownface and think it’s cute. I will not support a cast of actors who enable their ignorant director to act this way. I will not defend a cast and crew of people who are willing to disregard Latin actors experiences because they just want this show on their damn resume. I’m sick of it.
