It's no secret that I'm a giant fan of Slave Play on Broadway and one of the ideas that is front and center in the play is that we should all be listening to women of color more. To that end, I invited two friends, Amara and Morgan, to share their thoughts on Slave Play and the state of theater in NYC and beyond. It wasn't long into their fascinating discussion that I realized I was listening to two people who are much smarter than me.
