Abstract

Recently, productions of The Mountaintop by Katori Hall produced by Kent State and Lloyd Suh's Jesus in India at Clarion University cast white actors in roles intended for actors of color. These two productions bring the issue of racial inequity and color conscious casting in the theater to a national debate. Join a panel of Theater Artists to discuss how we can address these issues on our campus.
