Black n Blue Boys at Berkeley Repertory Theatre

Big, bold, beautiful, and fierce—Dael Orlandersmith delivers a
riveting performance in Black n Blue Boys. This world premiere
introduces us to children and adults forging identities in
families fractured by alcohol, drugs, and abuse. Each relates
a story that transforms these challenges into a celebration of
our capacity to survive. Orlandersmith created this show after
becoming a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize with Yellowman—and
she brings these characters roaring to life with the help of Obie
Award–winning director Chay Yew. In the tradition of No Child…
and Taking Over, this solo show illuminates the intricacies of an
experience shared by every ethnicity.
