J&R Productions' A BLACK AND WHITE NIGHT OF THEATER Plays Final Show 3/7
By: BWW News Desk
J&R Productions' A Black and White Night of Theater will close on March 7 at the Gene Frankel Theater in New York City. The evening will feature two plays directed by Shawn Renfro (Artistic Director of the Apothecary Theatre Company), White Panther and Black Thang, and one dollar from every ticket sold will be donated to the American Red Cross to help those affected by the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
After celebrating black history month in February, White Panther and Black Thang are being presented in New York City to commemorate the revolutionary figures of the African American community and reflect upon the modern day revelation of our first black president Obama. The contrast of these two plays will enlighten people to share these stories of relationships, and love. White Panther, written by Arinne Brandy, Isiah Whitlock and Yanna Kroyt Brandt, takes place in the 1960s during the Black Panther Movement where an interesting connection, fraught with danger and unpredictability, develops between a jailed member of the Panthers and the lawyer petitioning for his release.Videos
