Community Conversation: From Brooklyn to Broadway
Marcia Pendelton moderates a conversation with Black theatre artists who call Brooklyn home.
In celebration of National Black Theatre Day, The Billie will launch its 2026-2027 season with a special edition of its community conversation series.
Presented in collaboration with black theatre aficionado Marcia Pendelton of Walk Tall Girl Productions, From Brooklyn to Broadway will explore Brooklyn’s connection to Broadway and the many performers and creatives who call the borough home. The conversation will examine how Brooklyn has shaped or inspired individual artists while offering a behind-the-scenes look at some of the shows heading to Broadway this season.
Panelists will include singer, songwriter and Broadway actor Marcus Paul James, whose credits include RENT, Motown: The Musical and In the Heights; Tony Award-winning actress Adriane Lenox, recognized for her performances in Doubt and After Midnight; two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage and Tony Award-winning Broadway star Lillias White, celebrated for her acclaimed performances across Broadway.
