“Black and Blue,” an original play written by Lee Patton Chiles for Gitana Productions explores the complex relationship between the African American community and the police.
The play premiered in May at the Missouri History Museum.
It will also be presented at Greater St. Marks Family Church on June 7; and St. Louis Community College at Florissant Valley, 3400 Pershall Rd., Terry M. Fischer Theater, Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20 – 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 21 – 3:00 p.m. Admission is free to eliminate cost barriers and bring this important message to as many people as possible, according to Gitana Executive Director Cecilia Nadal. “Black and Blue” encourages cross-cultural understanding and healing in light of the Michael Brown shooting and subsequent events in Ferguson. “The events in Ferguson and across the country ruptured widespread denial about the state of race relations and equal justice under the law in our country,” said Nadal. “This play peels back the presumption of guilt on both sides of the issue so that we can begin the healing process.” A Q&A and panel discussion by local community leaders will follow each performance. Cast members also will be onstage to answer questions. *Reservations required at www. gitana-inc.org After June 30, Gitana Productions will offer the play to other organizations and groups in the community. For bookings call Gitana Productions at (314) 721- 6556. “This play is inspired by Ferguson and starts there, but it is not intended to be only about Ferguson,” said Nadal.
