About this listen
On this episode, Tom goes "On the Aisle" with LaKesha Lorene, the founder of the Naptown African American Theater Collective (N-A-A-T-C). She speaks with Tom about her journey, her vision for the organization, and the significance of their work in the Indianapolis theater scene. Lakesha shares how N-A-A-T-C evolved from a conversation in 2021 and has quickly become a cultural hub reflecting the community's heritage and diversity. She discusses the intentionality behind the organization's name, her background in arts and theater, and her experiences and challenges as a black woman and leader in the arts. They also touch upon the need for equity in theater, the importance of uplifting diverse voices and stories, and the future of N-A-A-T-C. The conversation highlights Lakesha’s dedication to her craft and community, and her hopes for fostering a more inclusive and vibrant cultural landscape.
