Working to Make Set Design More Inclusive

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Mar 1, 2024

Tony-winning set designer Beowulf Boritt was dismayed to learn how overwhelmingly white and male his profession has traditionally been... so he decided to start the 1/52 Project, which helps raise money to provide grants to young new design talent. One of those grant recipients was Stefania Bulbarella, who recently made her Broadway debut with "Jaja's African Hair Braiding." Boritt and Bulbarella join us to discuss the project, and the field of set design as a whole.
