A taxpayer-funded Canadian theater organization has sparked outrage
after announcing an event that will only allow “Black-identifying
audiences” to attend.
The National Arts Centre in Ottawa is putting on a “Black Out” night
at its Babs Asper Theatre on Feb. 17 — the middle of Black History
Month — for the performance of “Is God Is,” a play written by and
starring black women.
“A Black Out is an open invitation to Black-identifying audiences to
come and experience performances with their community,” the theater
announced earlier this month.
“The evenings will provide a dedicated space for Black theatregoers to
witness a show that reflects the vivid kaleidoscope that is the Black experience.”
