We also thought we'd share some of our favorite books on producing, in case you're interested in continuing your education:

• Everything Was Possible: The Birth of the Musical Follies by Ted Chapin

• From Option to Opening: A Guide to Producing Plays Off-Broadway by Donald Farber

• Razzle Dazzle: The Battle for Broadway by Michael Riedel 

• The Commercial Theater Institute Guide to Producing Plays and Musicals edited by Ben Hodges and Frederic Vogel

• The Secret Life of the American Musical: How Broadway Shows Are Built by Jack Viertel

Finally, we want to elevate organizations that are working to dismantle systemic and institutional racism in our field. Here are some organizations you can follow and/or become involved with:

• The Industry Standard Group (this is an organization co-founded by Sammy Lopez)

• Theatre Producers of Color

• Broadway for Racial Justice

• Broadway Theater United

• Broadway Advocacy Coalition 

This list is by no means exhaustive, but a good place to begin!
