A few weeks prior to the submission deadline for this volume of
Theatre Symposium, the murder of George Floyd by officers of the
Minneapolis Police Department sparked a movement for racial justice
that reverberated at every level of US society. At predominantly
and historically white academic institutions (including Theatre
Symposium and its parent organization, the Southeastern Theatre
Conference) leaders were compelled, as perhaps never before, to
account for the role of systematic racism in the foundation and
perpetuation of their organizations. While the present volume’s
theme of “Theatre and Race” was announced in the waning days of
2019, the composition and editing of the issue’s essays were
undertaken almost entirely within the transformed cultural and
professional landscape of 2020. Throughout its twenty-nine years of
publication, Theatre Symposium’s pages have included many
excellent essays whose authors have deployed theories of race as an
analytical framework, and (less often) treated BIPOC-centered art
and artists as subject. The intent of the current editors in
conceiving this issue was to center such subjects and
theorizations, a goal that has since taken on a more widely
recognized urgency. Taken together, these twelve essays represent a
wide range of scholarly responses to the theme of “theatre and
race.” The fact that there is so much to say on the topic, from
so many different perspectives, is a sign of how profoundly theatre
practices have been—and continue to be—shaped by racial
discourses and their material manifestations.
