Tony Sunday

June 12, 2022 by Carol Tambor

Dear theatre friends,

Please read new Opinion Editor, Pamela Paul’s essay, “Let Actors Act”, before you read my response below or in today’s New York Times. It may not trigger as strong a reaction as I had.

Here’s my letter along with several others. Please let me know your view– I promise not to share your replies. 

I realize this is contentious, but not only for those making theatre. The reason this is so important is that a highly political slant is affecting teaching, writing, public policy… thinking. 

I hope to hear from you, and sit next to you in the theatre!
