Actress Nadia Sine met with me over Zoom in the Stay-at-home social distancing of 2020 to talk with me about being a black actress in the predominantly white theatre industry. I saw her performance as Juliet in Sonder Immersive\\u2019s production of \\u201cThrough Yonder Window,\\u201d and was captivated by the production and her performance. What Nadia and I sat down to discuss primarily was a topic that has recently risen to the top of the theatre industry conversation--the racism encountered by performers of color in theatre. There are fantastic resources and discussions on this topic in lots of corners of the public conversation, some of my favorites are listed below in the show notes. But like everything I\\u2019m interested in, I really wanted to have this conversation, one-on-one to help me process as I look at what I can do and should do and will do about institutional racism in my own theatre community.
