In 2021, after a wave of global unrest over racial injustice that followed the death of Houstonian George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, a coalition of Broadway theater owners, union leaders, creators and casting directors outlined a series of reforms and commitments for the industry to ensure there would be equity and inclusion implemented in all of its new contractual agreements, including ways to help widen the talent pool to more diverse candidates.

Join us as I SEE U Host Eddie Robinson explores what's really happening behind the curtain with actor and 4-time Tony Award-winning Broadway producer, Ron Simons. A former Microsoft executive, he's also Founder and CEO of SimonSays Entertainment, a multiple award-winning production house and consultancy service for artists, producers and investors.
