Casting controversy at Ithaca High School involves race

[alwaysamom]

This reminds of the casting call for Hamilton a couple of years ago which essentially said white actors need not apply. Although they reversed their position, I have decided not to spend my hard earned money seeing that particular show.

The casting call never said white actors need not apply. There have been white actors in the show since it was at the Public. If you have a look at any show’s casting call info, you will often see ethnicity specified, along with other factors. This is not at all unusual.
