"Hosting a racially segregated performance where people with the wrong racial background are specifically told that they are not welcome flies directly in the face of that commitment."Couldn't agree more. If the races were reversed, there would be outrage. I understand the sentiment of wanting to put on a performance that elevates your culture. But that doesn't give anyone the right to discriminate against others, not matter how well intentioned.Has that not been the message we've been shouting to white supremacists for years (albeit in a much more subdued form)?

In the name of Anti-Racism, we're re-inventing segregation.People trying to object to this are labelled "Racists"At some point we have to stop, look at what we're doing, and "say this is silly and unnecessary and we can do things that make more sense"

Amazing…Racism is such a simple concept. It’s baffling how blind people are to their own actions.

Putting aside the other issues, the idea to reframe Lady MacBeth as 'ambitious' rather than scheming seems like a leap.>...and a fresh interpretation of Lady Macbeth as an “ambitious Black woman” with a performance designed to elevate “Black female power, femininity, and desire”I'm honestly curious how they will handle this.

> One upcoming show on Oct. 29 is billed as a “Blackout” performanceA single performance art piece, comprising a building, audience, and performance, is hardly an outrageous racist action, let alone comparable to, gosh, centuries of broad and deep racism. Lordy.
