## Resource

The Tony Awards often celebrate the names on a show poster, but every Broadway production is carried by countless artists whose work rarely fits neatly into a category. So in anticipation of this year's awards ceremony, we're spotlighting a few of the performers, collaborators, and creative forces behind nominated productions. Victor Vazquez has spent his career expanding the possibilities of who gets seen onstage and whose stories Broadway embraces. As the founder of X Casting and casting director for CATS: The Jellicle Ball , Victor has helped build one of the most joyful, original, and culturally electric productions of the season from the ground up. In this conversation, Victor offers a rare look inside the audition room, reflects on what it means to bring Ballroom culture into the spotlight with care and authenticity, and discusses why he remains hopeful about the future of theater and the artists shaping it. —— LINKS CATS: The Jellicle Ball: https://catsthejellicleball.com/ X Casting: https://www.xcastingnyc.com/ The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts: https://www.nypl.org/locations/lpa
