They should have chosen a different story, if the theater group is so nervous about what to do with no black actors.
Anyone who has read an unabridged version of Huck knows the N word is liberally sprinkled throughout the book.
That was just how common people spoke to each other back then. Later 19th, early 20th century.

I read some of Hemingway’s short stories recently, and same thing there. Average Americans were speaking this way, uninhibited, well into the early 70’s.

Find some actors who “identify” as black. That’s all it takes these days.

It’s community theater. I would imagine that they’ll have a difficult time finding diverse actors even if they’re in a major city like Denver.

Y’all know this black slave stuff is tiresome!
I and my grand kids are tired of paying for crimes we
DID not commit.
We tire of the crimes Blacks disproportionately commit.
even to themselves!
Here is my solution,
23 hours per day in solitary. 1 hour of outside exercise
like walking in a cage. no prison gangs or friends.
you are alone on your own. Blacks will wither, and die.

That is pretty cheap compared to what society pays for
being non-racist.

93% white. I’ll bet Black Lives Matter signs abound where there are no actual black people.

Vermont is the same way.

No they can’t use makeup. Even if they did not do full on blackface, it would be considered a crime against humanity to use white actors, and using makeup to try to make us think they are black.
