In a segregated city in the American Midwest bursting with racial tension, a 14-year-old black girl, Vivian, was shot by a white policeman, igniting one of the worst race riots in American history. No one knew anything about her: just her name, her age, and how she died. This fantasia for two actors gives Vivian a life, a family, a love of music, and a reason to live. The jazz legend who's back in the neighborhood might be her real father. Can they find each other before the city explodes?Produced by special arrangement with Actors Equity Association.For more information and to purchase tickets on line go to: www.gardearts.org or call (860) 444-7373. $30 General Admission, $25 for Students and Seniors.
