Streetlamp Studio's two act play premiered last weekend to very receptive audiences. Tomorrow night (Saturday, 8/29) is the last public performance. A local newspaper reviewing the play described exactly the kind of tensions and questions it was written to help us think about, as well as the hopes it was meant to kindle:
It’s a set-up: White guilt, Black anger and Latino regret, that seems predictable at the outset but Vaughn Hall crafts the interlocking stories with wit, verve and ultimately pathos.
To quote Rodney King: “Why can’t we all just get along?”
For cynics it might just be a utopian dream, but there is considerable evidence that a majority of us believe in a society where different races and classes can peacefully co-exist.
You can read the entire review online at The Los Angeles Wave and you can still purchase tickets at the Streetlamp Studio website.
