Daughters of Lorraine
Created in 2019, the Daughters of Lorraine Podcast was created by Dr. Jordan Ealey and Dr. Leticia Ridley while they were graduate students at the University of Maryland, College Park. Now, both assistant professors, Jordan and Leticia, continue to explore the legacies of Black theatre history, engage in current national conversations around, within, and about Black theatre, review Black theatre productions, and interview Black theatre artists. This podcast centers and privileges the narratives of Black theatremakers, scholars, and audiences while also underscoring the influence of Black theatre on the theatrical landscape.
