"30 under 30" + at least two
Lists are addictive, which is why publications, websites and David Letterman continue to make them. And folks like you and me continue to read them. But lists say as much about the people who put them together as they do about the people who appear on them. So, while I had fun clicking through BroadwaySpace.com’s “30 under 30” list of the best young talents who have worked on Broadway over the past couple of years, I was dismayed to see that not one black person made the list. Hey guys, what about Daniel Breaker, 29, who was a standout in both Passing Strange and Shrek? Or Jon Michael Hill, 24, currently delighting audiences in Superior Donuts? I know talent, like beauty, rests in the eye of the beholder but this otherwise terrific list gives the word colorblind a different kind of meaning.
