“In celebration of Women’s History Month, join us as we gather five dynamic and influential Black women artists as they give insight and a second sight perspective into their trajectory and life lessons. What are the stories that exist from “the other side of the table”? How have they confronted marginalization in the theatre industry and what myths do they seek to shatter? By opening up a dialogue with the audience, we aim to empower artists of color to hold space with each other to strengthen this resurgence of contemporary Black Theatre.”
rnMonica Williams will moderate the event.rnrnRSVP here. The discussion is FREE, however, we encourage a $10 donation to support the National Black Theatre.rnrnYou don’t get this opportunity often. These women are trailblazers in the community and to have them all on the same stage sharing their experiences & knowledge is invaluable. We hope to see you there!rn
