Solidarity with striking screenwriters from the WGA inspired moving speeches onstage at the TonyAwards. Writers 'are the articulators of our values and the search lights of our consciousness,' pens Times theater critic CharlesMcNulty tonyawards2023
The WGA had asked its members not to attend, but it was moving to see so many artists advance the cause of the union by refusing to be invisible and by speaking truth to power.The WGA announced Monday that it would not picket the Broadway awards show, scheduled for June 11, allowing it to proceed in altered form.
The tone, however, was never political for politics’ sake. Artists spoke from their own experience, as Michael Arden bravely exemplified when he recalled being called the “F-word” as a gay youth. The secret that theater people have no trouble understanding is that most human beings worry that some aspect of their identity might be disqualifying in a world openly intolerant of difference. The voice that right-wing conservative politicians want to demonize is actually the voice that is trying to say, “I see you, I hear you and I welcome you.”
Ghee struck a similar note in their acceptance speech: “For every trans, nonbinary, gender-nonconforming human, whoever was told you couldn’t be, you couldn’t be seen, this is for you.”
