Black Out is an idea originated by Jeremy O. Harris during the Broadway run of his playSlave Play in 2019. It is a performance for which all the tickets are reserved for Black audience members. Jeremy conceived Black Out because he felt it was important for Black theatregoers to experience sitting in a theatre space where the whole audience looks like them.

While this performance has been programmed to create a space for as many Black audience members as possible, no one is excluded from attending this performance.
