Hi Graham, I remember a while back you were looking for examples of extreme wokeness in the acting / performance industry. If you're still interested in these, I've got one for you. Do you know Mandy Actors? It's a casting website that used to be called Casting Call Pro and, after Spotlight, it's probably one of the biggest casting sites around. Basic membership is free but to apply for any paid jobs and to appear in searches etc you have to be a premium member at a cost of £156.00 per year.
SUBMISSIONS CALL-OUT FOR FEMALE IDENTIFYING PLAYWRIGHTS/WRITERS/PERFORMERS/DIRECTORS
Empower Her Voice are looking for submissions from female-identifying writers for our THIRD scratch night online. It will be a beautifully curated evening of different forms of theatre.
The night will be a 1 hour mixed cultural show, with music interludes, filled with informative, creative, and unheard voices. This will be a safe and empowering space for those who want to speak out, empower others and share their ideas and experiences.
Details:
- SUBMISSION Deadline: 9th December (midnight)
- THEME: I Stand With You
- No longer than 5 minutes in length
- Any form is welcome: spoken word, pre-recorded video, poetry etc.
- Female-identifying voices
- We particularly encourage submissions from underrepresented backgrounds
- No prior experience is needed
- This is not a paid opportunity
Nobody is challenging it in the comments (the group has 12,000 members), one person asked for clarification of what female-identifying means, and the poster said "anyone who feels female" and that she used the term to be "inclusive of transwomen" - again, no pushback, just 'likes' and thank yous.
That's a very nicely written letter, thanks for sharing it.
put so well - i bet they have a session of spinning heads after reading it
I guess that's all the AGP LARPers now identifying as seriously looking for woke... oops, er... work

"What the hell is a non-binary femme performer?"
A man - as far as I'm able to ascertain.
Perfectly penned letter. Very moving and accurate. I would rather have Her invest in women only business or On Glinners substack.
