Black and Brown Theatre's "Beast of the Town" - ALTQ

Black and Brown Theatre was founded in the summer of 2016 to address the inequity of casting in the professional Michigan theatre scene and create more opportunities for theatre artists of color. On Saturday, August 1st, at 2pm, B&B Theatre will be giving a Virtual Performance of their adaptation of Beauty & the Beast ("Beast of the Town") for our younger patrons & kids of all ages. 

We are chatting with co-founder (actor/producer/director/playwright) Emilio Rodriguez about the origins of the Black and Brown Theatre, as well as some of the events they've created in their 4-year history, including the "Our Voices" program for students. Rodriguez followed up with us and shared this video, below, featuring a clip from this program where students get to direct grown-up actors.
