It’s a first for rutgersnb – directors of color lead all three student theater groups. 🎭

cabaret_theatre’s Uchenna Agbu (from left) rutgersltc’s Kira Harris, and thecollegeaveplayers’ Kyle Cao say they represent a growing trend toward inclusion both at Rutgers and in the arts, media and society at large.

“The first thing I did when searching for theater organizations on campus was look at their Instagram pages and their pictures for anyone who looks like me," says junior Uchenna Agbu. "When people always see the same people they think, why should I try?”

“I think I bring a really important perspective," says senior Kira Harris. "Viewing theater through the lens of someone who historically is not the most represented in theater, I feel even more committed to my role.”

“For the first time, especially in America, we are finally seeing ourselves and friends and families in the stories that get told on TV on Broadway, and in the movies," says senior Kyle Cao. "Our culture is starting to realize that people of color are a part of the population, and we have talent, voices, and stories that people want to hear.”
