Derek Black Today is Part II of Derek Black’s transformation story, from leader in the white nationalist movement to someone who is actively working to make America a place where everyone has a seat at the table, regardless of race or any other differences. It’s a powerful story that highlights courage, both in those who reached out to him in love, and in Derek himself to confront his own misbeliefs and then to publicly break with his past, at great personal cost. I’m sharing it in the format...

A friendly and influential white supremacist goes incognito to a progressive liberal arts college where he’s outed and treated as a pariah until an orthodox Jew offers genuine friendship that will dismantle his entire worldview. 

Organic Acting invited him to brush his ego aside and center the needs of the cast, both individually and as a whole, in a way that opens the door to the deep authenticity onstage that can pull in an audience, every time.
