the colored critic is an accessible platform for the critique and analysis of Black theatre. each month, the colored critic will feature a critique, review or analysis of a Black dramatic work by a community contributor.
this platform prioritizes and encourages the sustained involvement of Black voices in theatre. we believe that dramatic criticism sparks conversations and dialogue that push the art form of theatre forward.

the colored critic and its contributors should use accessible language that appeals to a wide range of readers, not just those in academia. we are looking for pieces that consider Black dramatic works, meaning theatre that involves Black playwrights, actors, technical designers, producers and directors.
