Hello everyone,
The world of theatre has progressively made great strides towards inclusivity among different races, cultures, and classes, as can be supported by the text’s mention of how Latino theatre, Asian American theatre, and theatre of difference rose up in the last century (Cohen 273). Latino theatre exemplifies diversity by portraying topics that affect various Hispanic communities and cultures, along with including a mixture of both English and Spanish in many productions of plays such as Zoot Suit and Lydia (Cohen 274). Asian American theatre shows such as Miss Saigon and M. Butterfly also serve to entertain and educate audiences about issues dealing with eastern cultures, such as the political strife from past wars or immigration
