Join us SUNDAY, AUGUST 2 for a COMMUNITY CONVERSATION

This conversation. moderated by Patrick Murphree after the matinee performance, will be with Ky’Eisha W. Black, a movement lawyer and legal scholar whose work examines how the law has shaped Black life in the United States, with a particular focus on education, civil rights, and legal history; and Melissa Coll, who currently teaches Criminal Procedure and Criminal Law at the Jacksonville University College of Law. Audience members are invited to ask questions as we reflect on the play’s themes.

NOTE: If you have a ticket to see a different performance, you’re welcome to attend the community conversation. We suggest arriving at the theatre at 3:30pm.
