Abstract
This document will provide evidence of how white supremacy culture traumatizes Black artists by lowering esteem and devaluing their work. The Black experience in America is traumatic enough, the theater should be a place that allows African Americans of all different educational backgrounds, classes, beliefs, etc. to receive a cathartic experience, abuse free. This case study involves directing Black content, Katori Hall’s “Hoodoo Love”, at a predominantly white institution in hopes of uplifting African Americans and enlightening the rest.
