Nov 1. — The Hampshire College Theatre Board will host an intentional conversation on racism in Hampshire’s theatre spaces on November 14th from 4:30 to 5:30pm in Emily Dickinson Hall.
Anyone who has been affected by racism in Hampshire theatre spaces, regardless of whether their experience was in a class, Theatre Board, a slotting committee, or a production, is invited.
The conversation is intended to “identify problematic areas in how Hampshire’s theatre program and its surrounding culture operates, and begin the long overdue work of making Hampshire College’s theatre spaces more welcoming, inclusive, and antiracist,” per an announcement circulated by Theatre Board.
DISCLOSURE: The author of this article is on the production team for two upcoming productions, and copy-edited the announcement quoted above. Leapfrog contributor Ryan Nivus is Theatre Board Secretary.
