This thesis is an ethnography of professional New Jersey, off-Broadway, and off-off-Broadway rehearsal rooms. This ethnography analyzes how underrepresented artists maneuver historically exclusive theatrical spaces to produce new works that have been traditionally undervalued. “We See You, White American Theatre,” labor union contracts, anthropological theories, and ethnographic material guide this anthropologic exploration.application/pdfenNot Your Great White Way: An Ethnography of New York City and New Jersey's Latiné and New Theatrical Works Rehearsal Room ProcessesPrinceton University Senior Theses
