Black Theater...We have a problem!

I had the honor of sitting in on a conversation which focused on Black Theater.  I say it was an honor, because it really opened my eyes to see things for what they really are.  The people that were speaking had every right to voice their opinions because, not to give away their age but, they have been around this business for many years.  My jaws dropped when I was informed that some of the most prestigious Black Theater companies where not owned by black people.  Really?!! Are you kidding me??!!  It's just so hard to believe that we still rely on other people to give us permission to tell our stories.  I hear more often than not how we need fresh new stories about us on stage.  And I totally agree.  Not just because I'm a writer, but because I know of other writers who pen some amazing work that the actor side of me is just waiting for the opportunity to tackle. So why aren't these pieces going up?  Politics!  It all boils down to politics, which is such a shame.  So I immediately start thinking of what I can do to change this.  Many thoughts came to my mind.  As much as I would love to "just be an actor", I realize God is preparing me for bigger things, opportunities, titles.  What exactly is my plan?  Well, I can't tell you that. I mean I could, but I'd have to cause you bodily harm after! Just joking...somewhat :)  But I have to be honest with myself.  I'm a game-changer.  I would love to sit in the background and just complain but my conscience, work ethic and passion won't let that happen.  Now that it's out in the open, I have no other choice but to start building my foundation for changing the game!  As always: Loving Jesus, life and every opportunity!  Don't forget to follow me on twitter: @ShashoneLambert  and check out my Award winning webseries: www.InvestmentsTheSeries.com
