We talk all the time about community engagement through the arts on this podcast and this week is a look at the extraordinary work one theatre company in Seattle is doing. Lindsay is joined this week by Melani and Evelyne from Dandylyon to talk about their work with a recent production of the Lion King. The Lion King is one of those shows that comes under scrutiny often times in regards to representation onstage, and this episode by no means gives a definitive answer surrounding that particular issue. Instead, we do look at the intentionality and community focus that went into this production and the impact it made.
