Joseph Haj, artistic director of the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis: "A 2015 study ... of 74 LORT theatres ... found that there were zero managing or executive directors of color and, on the artistic side, just six people of color. Since then the figures have worsened. ... That same study also found that women made up 59 percent of managerial staff presumably next in line for leadership positions (associate artistic directors, general managers, finance directors, development managers, etc.). But women have historically never held more than 27 percent of leadership positions in the American theatre, and the needle on that percentage hasn't budged in 30 years."
