Playwright/Actress Cori Thomas will lead a frank conversation about challenges, opportunities, and obstacles that face performers and writers of color in the theatre today. 

Cori will discuss her work, offer thoughts on contemporary playwrights whose work addresses diverse audience, and suggest strategies for auditioning, casting, and writing works that speak to a diverse world. Cori will be joined in conversation by writer and actor Kent Alexander. Ellen Kaplan will moderate the discussion. 

Cori will read a selection from her new play, FLIGHT 109, about former child soldiers in Liberia.
