Lend Me a Tenor
During the 1994-1995 season, Nomadic Theatre hosted a production of Lend Me a Tenor, a show that traditionally uses black face. Board 41 (2022-2023) discovered this previous production and is working to have critical conversations to provide the Georgetown theater community with sufficient knowledge of Nomadic's history with racism.
