TORN (Theater on Racist Negativity) was launched in June 2020 by RDU on Stage and Juan Isler to address equity, diversity, and inclusion issues within the Triangle theater community. Each week, a diverse panel discusses issues on race in an effort to nurture, engage, and educate. Juan Isler moderates this panel of young activists.
