Talking to a closeted Trump supporter about politics, inclusion, and what theater needs now.In this season finale, I sit down with my longtime friend, Julie D'Alessandro, a Boston-based voice teacher who has long kept her political views private. Together, we have a rare, candid conversation about inclusive theater, conservative voices in the arts, and what it takes to bridge political divides without losing compassion.From arts funding cuts to the quiet presence of Trump supporters in creative spaces, we discuss the fear, belonging, and courage it takes to keep listening.This one’s challenging, hopeful, and full of hope about how theater can move forward.Check out the full show notes and other resources at https://www.inclusivestages.com/post/talking-to-closeted-trump-supportersConnect with Kira:@kiratroilo @artandsoulconsulting @inclusivestages"'Black Hair'" Is Hair: An Entertainment Industry Guide WebsiteJoin our mailing list - scroll to the bottom of the pageThanks to our music composer, Zachary McConnell, and our producer, Leah Bryant.
