About

The Racial Justice EnActors is comprised of performing arts professionals and educational developers. It is housed within Georgetown’s Racial Justice Institute and is supported by the Dean’s Office, the Red House, and the CURA Initiative. The Racial Justice EnActors create arts-based educational and social interventions. This work spans university settings from audiences of instructors and administrators to students and community hubs, sparking conversation and spreading knowledge. The Racial Justice EnActors work as racial justice “first responders,” developing hour-and-a-half engagements that dramatize and dissect social, legal, and health disparities crafting scenarios to address the harmful racial inequities in these contexts. Pairing short, applied theater performances in a range of genres with facilitated discussions, our programs work to highlight the experience of marginalized individuals, shed light on current and historical racial inequities, and enhance participants’ abilities to advance equity.
