Black and Blue’ Returning to History Museum Friday, Oct. 2
Gitana Productions’ “Black and Blue,” an original play exploring the complex relationship between the African American community and the police, returns to the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park on October 2, 2015, at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $15, or $12 for Missouri History Museum members. Email info@gitana-inc.org, call (314) 721-6556, or visit www.gitana-inc.org.
“Black and Blue” by Lee Patton Chiles is based on a compilation of interviews with police officers and members of the African American community.
“The events in Ferguson and across the country ruptured widespread denial about the state of race relations and equal justice under the law,” said Cecilia Nadal, executive director of Gitana Productions. “This play peels back the presumption of guilt on both sides of the issue so we can begin the healing process.”
The play also will be performed in October at:
Parkway United Church of Christ, 2841 N Ballas Road, Sunday, Oct.4 at 6 p.m., followed by a panel discussion ree to the public, first come/first served
