This special event celebrates the Black membership of The Actors Studio and its award-winning contribution to American Theatre. Actors will present scenes from plays by black members of The Actors Studio, illuminating the varied and often fraught nature of our society’s interracial interactions. A moderator will lead a short Q & A after the presentation, where the audience can ask questions about what they have seen. Plays featured in the program will include:
