In addition to the heavy topics of racism, and murder, the n-word is used by several characters multiple times in the show. Due to legal obligations and the importance of its educational use, the script will be used as written. Rehearsals and performances will be a safe, academic space and theatre will be diligent in separating actor life from character life. The theatre is working with community groups and individuals and will be hosting talkbacks on the production. Callbacks are December 12-14 in the evening as needed. Rehearsals are Sundays at 2:30 PM, and Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 6:30 PM. Although you, may not be needed for all rehearsals, please prepare to be present.
