Resurrection

A New Play by Daniel Beaty
Directed by Oz Scott
January 23 - February 22, 2009

Five African-American men ranging in age from 20 to 60 have their lives transformed by the extraordinary mind and spirit of a 10-year-old boy. This joyous new work by Daniel Beaty, an exciting fresh voice in American theatre, examines what it means to be a black man in America today. Beaty's current work, Emergency, garnered the 2007 Obie Award and has been inspiring audiences and critics from Philadelphia and New York to L.A. "Lyrically brilliant; a must-see from an exciting young artist." –Associated Press
