Dear White American Theatre: Black Actors Speak Out

Dear White American Theatre: Black Actors Speak Out



Being a black actor is existing in two worlds at once. On this channel, I regularly explore the world of Acting but rarely what it feels like to be a black person operating in this world. This video is the center of those two worlds colliding. To hear more personal stories about my experiences as a black actor, visit the other half of this collaboration on Tiffany’s channel.

Jazelle & Tiffany, two black actors talk openly about We See You White American Theatre. Dear White American Theatre is a movement asking American Theater to take actions that create black safe spaces for their actors.

This is the part of the entertainment world that is too often overlooked. #WeSeeYou shows the experiences of black actors in theater & film and the demands to put in place to make our field safe for everyone.

6:07 – Being in an unsafe space & definition of BIPOC
