Newhouse Impact: Broadway's History and Future of Social Justice

Broadway, like many performing arts, has always stood at the forefront of social and cultural change in America. Though the pandemic put a pause on this, audiences seem to have returned to the Great White Way with a new hunger for those very changes.

In this episode of Newhouse Impact, Kevin talks to former Newhouse student Sam Aaronson about her research into that newfound hunger. With audiences coming out of the pandemic with new perspectives and values, how can Broadway meet viewer expectations and maintain their position of leading American culture?

Newhouse Impact, is a collaboration between the S.I Newhouse School of Public Communications and WAER. Find more about the department on their website.
