The goal of this production for this company was to engage the Black community of Lubbock, which had been historically excluded from the Lubbock arts scene. For casting, we coordinated with one of the only black arts organizations, the West Texas Dancing Raiderettes, to develop the appropriate and diverse ensemble for this show. Although the script itself lacks nuance and subtlety, my goal was to encourage and uplift these marginalized voices and highlight the sense of joy and community in the script for the Lubbock community. In my direction, I emphasized dreamlike nature of Tracy and her imagination through the use of tableaux and encouraging the actor playing Tracy to lean into her innocent sense of hope.
