This Network meeting featured a panel of Black theatre creators, educators, and leaders discussing anti-Blackness within our industry, the power structures at play, and how we can create a more equitable American Theatre. Our panelists shared their experiences and perspectives on the ways systemic racism has impacted Black members of the theatre community. It is our goal that this discussion will help us to move forward as an industry by contributing to a deeper understanding, and by generating ideas for ways we can make meaningful change.
