The Jamal Lullabies is a musical tribute and lament written and scored by Emily Conbere and directed by Paul Bargetto. In the piece four young, white women sing about Jamal, a beloved black student at their school who was killed at a gang shooting during a party. As the women unfold their stories it becomes clear that each of them loved him in profound ways that altered the course of their lives. The Jamal Lullabies is a potently ironic exploration of love and race in the popular cultural imagination. It stars Bekah Coulter, Debbie Friedman, Kristina Teschner, and Nicole Stefonek
