It’s the first episode! Danielle and Alex talk to Todd Brian Backus and Percival Hornak about their experience with exploitative and toxic work cultures in theatre. They cover things like so-called “quiet quitting,” salary transparency, and mentorship—and whether the theatre industry is delivering on its COVID-era promises of change.
