It all sounded like a straight-forward review when
The New York Times critic at large Maya Phillips reviewed a play by Aleshea Harris currently running at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in the story “What to Send Up When It Goes Down.” But that was about all that was normal as a note on the play’s website read: “The play was created for a Black audience but all are welcome. The intention of the play is to create a space for as many Black-identifying audience members as possible.”
In practice, things were less racially benign: Non-black people were asked to leave the show and go into the lobby during the last few minutes of the play and Phillips, who is black, absolutely loved it.
