LaNeshe’s project, Theatre in the X, will provide the people of West Philadelphia and the African American community-at-large the opportunity to see professional quality theater in their own neighborhood for no cost. With two, reversed-raced presentations of Shakespeare’s Othello, LaNeshe seeks to break down the inaccessibility of Shakespeare for audiences to experience the universal themes of racism, love, jealousy, betrayal, revenge, and repentance. LaNeshe’s goal is to connect the community and artists in an exchange about the power of the arts, the needs of the community, and how each can help the other.
