Day of Absence
Written by Douglas Turner Ward
Directed by Yolanda Marie Franklin
Called “a reverse minstrel show” by author Douglas Turner Ward. Here, the cast, made up in whiteface, recount the uproarious emergencies that occur when a Deep Southern town is faced with the sudden and inexplicable disappearance of all its Black citizens. A talkback discussion will immediately follow each performance.
