The New Black Fest, a theatre organization celebrating provocative storytelling, film, and discussion from the African Diaspora and The Lark, a 22-year-old play development lab dedicated to expanding the range of perspectives represented on stage in the United States will livestream the panel The White Gaze, The Truth Gaze, and a New Revolution. 

The panel will be moderated by playwright Nikkole Salter and will feature Kia Corthron, Dorian Missick, and Mychal Denzel Smith. 

The New Black Fest at The Lark, a week-long festival, will feature the following artists and their works: Actor and playwright Jocelyn Bioh (Schoolgirls; or The African Mean Girls Play) whose work has appeared on The Kilroy’s List; Co-founder of Team Play Eric Micha Holmes (Pornplay; or Blessed Are the Meek); Poet, playwright, and Ruby Prize Winner Lenelle Moïse (Merit); Actor, playwright, and an alumnus of the Emerging Writers Group at the Public Theater NSangou Njikam (When We Left); and actor and playwright Lisa Rosetta Strum, whose one-person play She Gon’ Learn won a Best Solo Show Award at the United Solo Festival at Theatre Row last fall.

Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and The New Black Fest’s advisory board member Lynn Nottage, who was The Lark’s 2013-14 Writer-in-Residence, told The New York Times, “This [event] is not about separation, it’s about inclusion. It’s about inviting people who don’t get access.”
