All-American - 2011 - Off-Broadway Articles Page 3

Writer/producer Lynn Grant Beck presents All American, a new drama laced with comedy, time travel and magical realism, directed by Michael Strauss. The world is so chaotic that time itself has broken. Two families from 1971 and 2021 live in the same house at the same time. A modern-day teen plans a school shooting, but his plans go awry when he connects to the other characters and reconnects to his own humanity.

The lives of two high-school boys, one black and one white, powerfully intersect after a violent act of racially motivated police brutality. Unfolding through the boys' alternating perspectives, the story follows their journey as they grapple with the devastating impact of racism as it reverberates through their families, school and town. Stages Theatre Company is proud to bring this important play, based on the award-winning book by Brendan Kiely and National Book Award winner and Ambassador of Children's Literature, Jason Reynolds, to Twin Cities audiences.
