SYNOPSIS:

August 1991: simmering tensions in the racially polarized neighborhood of Crown Heights erupt into riots after a Black child was killed by a car in the Chabad-Lubavitcher Rebbe鈥檚 motorcade and a white Jewish scholar was slain in retaliation. Anna Deavere Smith鈥檚 groundbreaking documentary play uses verbatim testimony from individuals throughout the diverse community, creating a nuanced portrait of a shared but divided geography. This theatrical event 鈥� performed over 30 years after these life-changing riots 鈥� promises a tour-de-force solo performance and a story which touches upon every American regardless of race, color, or beliefs.
