I think Theatre gets a bad rap because it's not in a great state these days, and many of you will think of 'theatre kids' and Hamilton before anything else.
However, it's a medium with a very radical history, and a lot of potential for interactive pieces that that can truly educate people about revolutionary practice and so on. I truly think it's overlooked.

ooooh thank you for tagging me! my favorite theater piece was at a local community theater (where the best theater tends to be) that was like 5 pieces by black writers covering things from the complications in interracial relationships, trying to be a good mom, getting over being transphobic, there was one part about the strength and beauty of black women that made me cry. it was soooo good. as for musicals im gonna be super basic and say my favorites are hadestown and heathers (so gaddamn catchy) .
Hades town is fantastic! Out of the classics, I’m a big fan of Guys and Dolls. Repo: the Genetic Opera is really good too. Now you’ve got me wanting to write effort posts about deconstructing shows. The Whipping Man is a fantastic play that talks about race and religion in the immediate post Civil-war from an enslaved jewish perspective.

I've always wondered, your username inspired by the Shakespeare piece?
yes!!! I relate to the character (have been gaslit by white people) and its great shorthand to show I am both black and a nerd.
