Black History Month → Zakiya Young as Lois Lane

In the 2010 revival of “It’s a Bird…It’s a Plane…It’s Superman” by the Dallas Theater Center (June 18-July 25), the career-driven Lois Lane is played by Zakiya Young.

“Not only was I thrilled to be playing the lead female role opposite such talented actors, but I was the first black actress to ever play Lois Lane in a Superman project — in theater, TV or film! The role was such a challenge not only because Lois Lane is such an icon, but the show had some pretty significant changes as well.” 

– [Featured Artist In Action: Zakiya Young]

“I got an e-mail from my agent saying I had gotten an audition for the project. I was like, ‘Um, okay…but I’m black.’ ”

But the casting announcement had indicated it would be “colorblind”, so audition she did. And she nailed it, Kevin Moriarty (Dallas Theater Center artistic director) says.

Could it strike folks as out of the ordinary that Superman and Lois Lane are about to be an interracial couple? Sure, says Young, but look at the big picture. “Superman is an alien from Krypton,” she laughs. “I mean, we’re asking audience members to believe a man can fly. If we do our job and draw people into this dreamworld, it isn’t going to matter.”
