Trading Races: Getting Real With The Cast of Black. White.

There is black, there is white, and there are shades of gray. And the experiences ran the gamut for the cast members of Black. White., the provocative hit TV show on the FX Network where two families—the Black Sparks and the White Wurgels—learned to literally live in each others’ skin through elaborate race-changing make-up, dialect coaching and other behavioral adjustments. Now, in the aftermath of their life-changing experiences on Black. White comes a riveting, interactive lecture experience featuring members of the two families who learned firsthand about the gray areas of race relations in America.

The Sparks family (Brian, an Atlanta contractor; Renee, an office manager; and their high school son, Nick) signed on for Black. White, the sociological experience/TV show after Brian noticed an ad for auditions on-line. The Wurgels (Carmen, an LA location scout; her college freshman daughter Rose; and her boyfriend, elementary school teacher Bruno) heard about Black. White from a friend. Both families came with preconceived notions and strong ideas about what they might experience. Yet they could never have anticipated the eye-opening lessons about cultural differences. Now, after these insights have had a chance to set-in, both the Sparks and the Wurgels bring their revelations to the podium and spark the dialog, illuminate the issues, and ignite the desire for greater understanding about the gray areas... not everything is black & white.
