About

Theatre claims to be for everyone, but is it really? From elitist training programs to gatekeeping on Broadway, the industry thrives on exclusivity. Fourth Wall pulls back the curtain on who gets opportunities—onstage, backstage, and beyond. Join Alaina Newell for deep dives, hot takes, and unfiltered conversations on accessibility, casting, and industry bias. If you've ever felt like theatre wasn’t built for you, you’re not alone. 🎧 It’s time to break the fourth wall—because theatre should belong to everyone.
