Two major Canadian theatres have sparked outrage by announcing exclusive performances for an "all black-identifying audience".
In Ottawa, the National Arts Theatre - one of Canada's biggest taxpayer-funded performing arts organisations - will hold its first ever "Black Out" night on February 17, at the 897-seat Babs Asper Theatre.
The organisation is putting on a performance of "Is God Is" - a revenge story about two African-American sisters written in 2018.
A similar event is planned by the Theatre Passe Muraille in Toronto on February 9, with two plays: "Okay you can stop now" and "X and Da Spirit" -which was written about the author's experiences during the Black Lives Matter protests.
According to the Toronto theatre, the purpose of the events is to facilitate "a safe environment for a personal and intimate discussion on the work made and performed by black artists". It added that it welcomed everyone who self-identifies as black to attend this performance.
However, while white attendees could not be banned from attending the show on a Black Out night, the theatre made clear they would not be welcome.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
