BIOGRAPHY
Beau Thom
On July 22, 2018, Nia Wilson was stabbed to death in Oakland, California. The same BART platform where she bled led me to school most mornings. Many days wasted, I wondered, on countless curriculums hoping theater could somehow honor the black bodies hurried and buried away too abruptly. I felt an undying, heavy, and relentless responsibility as a Black Artist to tell these stories. Grateful to be making my A.R.T. debut with a piece of such importance. Ashè to Aleshea, the Creatives, and the Spirits in the margins for making this possible.
