Bristol Riverside Theatre presents Fires in the Mirror Black Theatre Night
Join Bristol Riverside Theatre for Black Theatre Night! An affinity night championing Black Theatre-makers and the vibrant Black community of Bucks County and beyond. Experience Fires in the Mirror, light refreshments at a pre-show social mixer, and an optional post-show conversation with director Amy Kaissar, the show’s star Phyllis Johnson, and an esteemed Africology and African-American Studies scholar.
Fires in the Mirror: In the summer of 1991, Crown Heights, NY, exploded into three days of violence fed by rumors and competing narratives formed from incomplete facts. In the chaos, some saw anti-Black police bias. Others saw violent anti-Semitism. But playwright Anna Deavere Smith heard the honest voices of a divided national narrative. This remarkable play features the real words of more than 50 people interviewed immediately after the events, speaking honestly the way we do in private. Let’s listen.
