Plot Synopsis

Hosts, creators, and executive producers Joe Morton and Tracey Moore interview the world's greatest artists of color -- from actors to producers, directors, writers, and musicians. Together, they reflect on how their complexion affected their journey to success in the entertainment industry. "Black Box" is an industry reference to an experimental theatre space consisting of simple black walls and 99 seats or less. Filmed in a theater setting, INSIDE THE BLACK BOX features an A-list roster of talent, such as Debbie Allen, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Phylicia Rashad, Shonda Rhimes, Sherri Shepherd, Tamara Tunie, and more, with a diverse audience filled with young aspiring artists. Each one-hour episode is filled with revealing conversation, exciting performance, workshops and discussions about the role race plays in the entertainment industry. At home, audiences are also be given an opportunity to participate in the forum via mobile devices through script reading, Q&As, and the potential to audition to win roles in key sponsor ads.
