Br'er Cotton at The Zephyr Theatre

Lynchburg, Virginia. The former site of a thriving cotton mill is now an impoverished neighborhood. Deeply affected by all of the recent killings, of young black men like himself, Ruffrino, a 14 year old “militant,” incites riots at school and online. More and more at odds with his mother and grandfather, the boys’ anger grows beyond containment while the family home literally sinks into the cotton field, and no one seems to notice but him.

Opens at 8pm on Saturday, September 23rd and runs Saturdays and Mondays at 8pm, and on Sundays at 3pm through October 29, 2017 (no performance on Monday Oct 9th).
