Sheldon Epps- Acclaimed Artistic Director, Director of TV & Theatre, and Author of My Own Directions- A Black Man's Journey in the American Theatre. Sheldon gives a look behind the curtain and shares his experiences and responsibilities being a Black Man running a prominent theater. Things make look pretty on stage but do you know what it takes to have a career in theater, let alone being a Black Man? Funding, Casting, Staffing, and a respected voice. Sheldon has done it and doing it and wants to make sure he is not one of a few handfuls of African-Americans Artistic Directors but the next conversation will be about the number of African-American theater owners.
