For some, that means finding ways to be more representative and more responsive to their communities. This week, we explore the changing landscape of American theater.

GUESTS:
Diep Tran: Theater Journalist and Critic. Her reporting has appeared in Playbill, American Theatre and The New York Times
Snehal Desai: Producing Artistic Director at East West Players

Disrupted is about the changes we all encounter and the forces driving those changes. Some disruptions spark joy and possibility. Others move us to take action and re-evaluate our world. But the show isn't just about those disruptions; it’s about embracing them, exploring new perspectives, and feeling more connected to ourselves and our communities. Host and political scientist Khalilah Brown-Dean creates a place where changemakers come together to help us see the world differently and challenge us to grow together.
