Tribunal documents show when McKenna contacted director Judy Treloar about an audition for Les Belles-soeurs and said in an email that she was Black, Treloar responded: “As much as I do not like saying this, the 15 women in this play are Quebecois women and the play is set in Montreal in 1965. A black woman would not be a neighbour or a sister in this play, however I would love to meet you and hear you read.” McKenna, a Black woman from Montreal whose parents lived in the neighbourhood where the play takes place, said she felt like the claim erased her existence.
