Theatre is a powerful tool for introducing tough and sobering topics into our everyday conversations.
Racism is one of those challenging topics. Through spoken word, acting and visual performances, we can better understand and engage in thinking about the treatment and experiences of black people in modern America.
Today on All Sides, guest host Gail Hogan joins us as we talk about theatre as a tool for spurring dialogue about racism.
Guests:
- Carlyle Brown, writer, performer and artistic director, Carlyle Brown & Company
- Nannette Maciejunes, executive director, Columbus Museum of Art
- Lesley Ferris, arts & humanities professor, Ohio State University
