Black Theatre Ensemble shares its thoughts about adapting to a virtual landscape, as well as its plans for the spring season.
Black Theatre Ensemble, like all theater groups on campus, has been faced with the difficult task of reimagining theater as a digital medium. Unlike other theater troupes, however, BTE is a unique, artistic social group on campus dedicated to celebrating Black art and culture.
“We’re here to be a resource,” Kay Kemp, CC ’22, BTE’s executive playwright and art director, said in an interview with Spectator. “We’re here to be teachers and to be a group of people you can talk to on campus and make friends. ... We would love to have perfect productions—everyone would—but we are not solely focused on the product, we’re more focused on the process.”
