Commentary: What it feels like to have your history-making play canceled during the Taper’s closure

LA Times  

Larissa FastHorse’s “Fake It Until You Make It” was to have opened in August at the Mark Taper Forum. My new play, “Fake It Until You Make It,” commissioned by Center Theatre Group, was about to go into production at its Mark Taper Forum. Also canceled was Chay Yew’s production of Lauren Yee’s “Cambodian Rock Band.” I am writing because canceling these productions has done real damage to communities here in Los Angeles and nationally, and that damage has to be acknowledged. I went online and reread CTG’s 2020 “Commitments to Change,” and their follow-up posts of failed promises from the institution.
