  • Black Theatre Insights
    Black History Month & Theatre Insights 1 Purpose: As a way to acknowledge, highlight, celebrate, uplift, and honor the past and present Black theatre artists who have contributed so much to our theatre canon, I thought it would be worthwhile in creating daily emails to be sent throughout the month of February which consisted of a fact, artist, and play of the day. These daily emails culminated in a Black History Month Play Exchange on February 27th, as an event and space for folks to come together to give and share presentations on their chosen play from the list of plays sent out over the course of the month. It is my hope that we take the spirit of widening our knowledge of our theatre history and work towards making known the contributions of all the marginalized groups who have been critical in cementing the foundation of the theatre we all enjoy today. Acknowledgments: Thank you to Adarian Sneed for helping me create this idea during those late zoom calls on those cold, lonely winter break nights where we just laughed, existed, and bolstered one another’s creative thoughts. Thank you to the Anthony Aston Players for allowing me the space to use your listserv as a way to spread this knowledge and history. Thank you to Leslie Spencer and Sierra Browning for helping contribute some of the artist spotlights. I am forever grateful to all the kind emails I received from folks in support of this project as it truly made these emails an important part of my daily routine.
