NYTimes.com: The New Black Fest, which supports innovative plays by and about black people, has brought together seven playwrights to create six plays about race and privilege in the United States in the wake of the Trayvon Martin case.
The Alliance Theater in Atlanta, the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, the Goodman Theater in Chicago, Center Stage in Baltimore, the Woolly Mammoth in Washington and the National Black Theater in New York are among those that have agreed to support or present the work, said Keith Josef Adkins, a co-founder and the artistic director of New Black Fest.

In my opinion, one of the most wonderful things about theater is its ability to address and start conversations about the pressing issues in our society. This play in particular will be address one of the hardest subjects to converse about and I believe it presents a great oppritunity for self reflection and honest evaluation about race and privledge in America. I am also intrigued about how the racial diversity of the playwrites will effect the message of the play.
