Alvin Hough, Jr.: Creating Diversity in the Music Departments of the Theater Industry
Alvin: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! MUSE’s mission is to create diversity within the music departments of the theater industry by providing access, internships, mentorships, and support to historically marginalized people of color. Access is the main barrier, as opportunities are often handed to those who are "in the room where it happens." MUSE wants to invite more people in so that more are aware of what it takes to develop a theatrical production.
