Hello Race Talk Family!
The theater, television and film industries are a microcosm of American society where race, class, ethnicity and gender bias are played out on stage and screen. This shows up as racial stereotypes, limited roles, and lack of diversity. This scenario also occurs behind the scenes, as writers, actors and directors of color are blocked or required to adjust to please financiers and audience expectations that align with false narratives about communities of color.
Join us on Thursday, Dec. 8th at 7 PM EST for the second in a series of four discussions that will explore the ways that race and ethnicity affect artistic expression – what gets produced, how the work is received, how artists see themselves in the world and the choices they make. Panelists include, actor and award-winning playwright, Keith Hamilton Cobb (yes, that's my brother!), award-winning actor, Terence Bernie Hines and award-winning actor and writer, Michael Patrick Boatman. See their bios below. *** NOTE THIS IS A NEW LINK - Register Here.

In solidarity, Rev. Lane Cobb
