Kevin Ray on the Rot in American Theater

David Volodzko talks to former guest Kevin Ray about a disturbing experience he recently had on the New York subway, the pathology of woke activism, its influence in the arts and why things are getting worse rather than better, Yevgeny Zamyatin’s dystopian novel We, his experience with compelled speech, and the effort to turn educators into activist therapists.

Kevin Ray is a New York City theater director with over 20 years of experience as an arts educator. He produced and directed “Unearthly Visitants,” based on ghost stories by Edith Wharton, “The Machine Stops,” from EM Forster’s short story, and “We,” from Russian dissident Yevgeny Zamyatin’s dystopian science-fiction novel.
