Here is some more sleep deprived rambling if you would like to read it... this time on the topic of theater.
I think of it as a challenge for theater to become more inclusive in order to have as broad of an appeal as it did in Shakespeare's time, particularly in its representation of African Americans and other people of color.

Remember mama always said: where there’s a will there’s a way
Well I know that I’m no Shakespeare-So where’s the Will of today?
If the bougies had their way, do you know what you pay-
To sit and watch a performance from the Orchestra in Aisle K?
But what’s confusing’
Is theatre’s supposed to represent the issues our time right?
But the real people like the ones on stage are still in the back of the line right
While somebody getting rich by putting street issues in the limelight?
Violated the hood’s copyright but they don’t ever get the lines quite. Right?
To tell the truth it’s really not much better on TV
Tyler P sold 300 mil of his DVDs but not a single one to me
I just don’t see me
Where do I fit in? Where’s my character in those scenes?
Why don’t they tell the truth and bring some character to those scenes
Every since black performers came upon this scene
We been keen not to be too harsh when we criticize one another, know what I mean?
But to be thankful that at least one another exist
Cause without that stuff I don’t like I wouldn’t even be writing this
I just feel there’s a need for us to see what we look like for real
And theatre can be that vehicle not like an automobile
But like a method for our madness
Show us our sadness and our gladness
We can see when what we look like when we are at our very wackest
And then maybe the theatre is just a dying profession
But they proclaimed hip hop to be dead and you can see its resurrection
Same thing with that pesky N-word that we claimed to be dead and gone
Like one of the Bebes kids it’s like it multiplies in every song
But I coulda told you all along- there are some things people’ve learned to love like their own
It aint right, but how long do you continue to bitch and to moan?
Don’t want to leave it alone, just want to keep it moving
When’s the last time you met anyone who said they were part of a “movement”?
With such strong identities these days
We are afraid to indentify
And associate with associations that we would have to justify
To our top friends on MySpace and Facebook
We stop in our place to imagine how their face would look
When we tell them we are making real changes
You cannot find this in a book
Not even the kind you find in a presidential campaign brochure
Trying to move people who don’t move from computers all day can drive you insane for sure
So what part of it precisely do we have to reinvent
For those too obsessed with nice sneaks for their feet to pound the pavement?
To the strategists and producers and those with money everywhere
I dare you to show them the truth and you will reach them anywhere
Undress the mess that has made the craft passé
Lower ticket prices and open the gates to the Great White Way
Laugh with us and not at us and maybe we can find a way
To reinvigorate the theater: each performance, each play.
