A lab dedicated to investigating, developing, and amplifying Black stories, artistry, and creators.
The Black Theatre Lab is dedicated to investigating, developing and amplifying Black stories, artistry, and creators. We strive to create a broad diasporic space for reflecting on Black theatre in its various forms and practices, celebrating the richness and diversity of Blackness through research, performance, and community activation within the University of Toronto Mississauga and the broader GTA.
Daughters of Lorraine Podcast
The Daughters of Lorraine Podcast was created in 2019 by Dr. Jordan Ealey and Dr. Leticia Ridley while they were graduate students at the University of Maryland, College Park. Now both assistant professors, Jordan and Leticia continue to explore the legacies of Black theatre history, review Black theatre productions, and interview Black theatre artists. This podcast centers and privileges the narratives of Black theatremakers, scholars, and audiences while also underscoring the influence of Black theatre on the theatrical landscape.
