What made you want to direct this production?
I have always been a big fan of Jackie Sibblies Drury plays; and after I first read the script, I was taken aback by the story and thought I would do anything to direct this show. I started doing research on how the piece came to be, and from that, I knew it was a play I had to do. I think so much of why I direct theatre is to have a conversation with the audience about the world we live in. As a black queer woman, I love seeing plays that show the black experience in a way that we have never seen before. I love plays that challenge us, make us uncomfortable, and make us want to change in some way; and I think Fairview does that in a way you'd never expect.
What is your advice to audiences about to experience Fairview?
It is an honor and privilege to get to work on a Jackie Sibblies Drury play. Her ability to have us all -- audiences, actors, designers, directors etc. -- engage in conversations that we are too afraid to have ourselves is remarkable. This play begs us to listen, lean in, and pay attention. I encourage you to give the actors all of your focus and be open to receiving this show. Be open to change, to discomfort, and to doing something you never thought you would ever do.
In the words of the great Nina Simone: “An artist’s duty is to reflect the times.” Look through the mirror, the Facebook post, Instagram story, Tik Tok. See the image the world is depicting, and then I beg you to question what is real and what is not, what is truth and what is fiction. We all love stories, especially the ones that may not be the truth.
What are your role and duties as the EDI Consultant on this show?
In the corporate world, where people can go to work as themselves and leave as themselves, EDI looks different. It's different in theatre where we ask artists to step into the skin of other characters, to speak words that they might not ever say themselves. As an EDI consultant specializing in the nuanced, creative world of theatre and the arts, I recognize that the needs for each production are fully dependent on the diverse group of people assembled in each rehearsal room and the specific script we are working with.
For Fairview, inclusion to me looks like 'psychological safety'. Any show that asks artists to create and perform from a place of racial trauma is a show that requires EDI support. Even if we’ve taught audiences something, or opened up the theatre community to crucial conversations, my work as EDI consultant hasn’t been successful if the artists don’t feel safe and supported throughout their difficult work.
Building a system of trust from the very beginning, especially on shows like Fairview, is crucial. In the rehearsal room, we collaborated to create a brave space for difficult conversations about race and identity. As a consistent resource for the team, I helped set up ground rules and guidelines for artists to feel safe while freeing themselves to play and create within uncomfortable subject matter. And as rehearsals and performances go on, I keep a pulse on the environment, and an open door for support and guidance. I find that just knowing there is an EDI resource, knowing that SpeakEasy encourages artists to speak up about their challenges and needs, makes for a more inclusive creative space in which to tell stories like these.
It's a difficult job, but it’s also the simplest thing in the world — people want to be seen, heard, and valued for their unique perspectives and identities. I hold this important work to help free the artists to create the world of the play. And once you see this play, you’ll understand why this work is so important.
At SpeakEasy Stage Company, we are grateful to be a part of a community that embraces the bold subject matter we explore on stage. We believe that the best conversations come from exposure to a wide breadth of experiences and points of view, and are passionate about facilitating discussions in a constructive and effective manner.
To ensure that the environment in which we do this work remains inclusive, accessible, and welcoming, we expect everyone at SpeakEasy Stage - audience members, subscribers, donors, artists, board members, and staff - to comply with the community expectations aligned with our mission and values.
All members of the SpeakEasy community are expected to agree with and adhere to the following at all SpeakEasy-sponsored performances and events:
• We respect the cultural backgrounds and identities of everyone onstage and off.
• We understand that everyone has a right to be at the theater, and that enjoying the art may look different from one audience member to another.
• We agree to be mindful of our responses to those around us, leading with understanding and respect.
• We appreciate the space in which we gather, as well as those working within it.
• We respect the personal boundaries and safety of those with whom we interact.
If you experience any behavior that you believe is contrary to the above agreements and has negatively impacted your time at SpeakEasy Stage, we encourage you to locate the venue manager on site (usually located in the lobby of the theater), and also contact our Community and Artistic Programs Manager, Alex Lonati, at AlexLonati@SpeakEasyStage.com. We will take action - in the moment and/or afterwards - to continue the education of our community.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all those who join us in our efforts to create a better community at SpeakEasy and beyond.

Fairview is a thought-provoking comedy that speaks to the importance of examining the ways in which bias informs our understanding of the world. During a time where we have heavily overrelied on social media, film, and TV as a means to stay connected to the world, Fairview invites artists and audiences into a conversation that both encourages us to challenge the notion of what life is supposed to be like, and engages us in a critical examination of those representations in the world. Through the lens of the Black experience, Drury’s writing asks: What are the commonalities between Fairview and popular Black family sitcoms such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Black-ish, The Cosby Show, and Family Matters? And how are we influenced and impacted by those shows?
In the 2014 IndieWire article, "Why White People Don’t Like Black Movies," author Andre Seewood points to this question, noting the sociological phenomenon of the Racial Empath Gap, which is the lack of empathy necessary to identify with someone outside of one’s own race. When paired with the white gaze or “… the ways in which whiteness dominates how we think and operate within a society” (Janice Gassam Asare, “Understanding the White Gaze and How It Impacts Your Workplace”), we must consider the narratives they create at the intersections of the policing and surveillance of Black bodies. Going as far back to the 16th century, the surveillance of commodified Black bodies has reinforced racism through objectification, projection, and policing. Over the course of four centuries, these intersections would manifest into American history and culture through minstrel shows, circus acts, and soon after, TV and social media. Simone Browne, author of the book Dark Matters: On the Surveillance of Blackness, dissects this further in the 2020 article “How Surveillance Has Always Reinforced Racism” stating: “If you think about TV, like Cops being taken off the air or Gone With the Wind or whatever it is, there are all these ways black life is framed that shapes people's viewing. I think it's what Judith Butler calls a 'racially saturated field of visibility,' where these stereotypes form our field of our vision.”
As Black family sitcoms have become part of pop culture, the depictions of Black people have moved from extremes, such as minstrel and negative stereotypes, to more assimilated and relatable Black characters most often written by white writers’ rooms. However, despite this growth of Black representation, we are haunted by the voyeurism of Black bodies in white spaces. With no space away from this white gaze, where can Black people exist without having their experiences reduced to mere entertainment for a white audience? Where are the spaces that allow for authentic representation, both on and off stage?
As American and Jamaincan poet and playwright Claudia Rankine has said: “Our bodies arouse fantasies in the white mind that rob us of our personhood. It is the image of Blackness that is seen, and that image of Blackness is not that of a sibling; it is not that of a child or a friend. It is a Black body that needs restraining, containing, or neutralizing.”
