FIRES IN THE MIRROR: Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and Other Identities JUNE 9-JULY 3, 2022
Conceived, Written, and Originally Performed by Anna Deavere Smith
Co-Directed by Adam Immerwahr and January LaVoy
Produced in association with Theatrical Outfit in Atlanta, Georgia
THE GROUNDBREAKING DOCUMENTARY PLAY
Starring January LaVoy
August 1991: simmering tensions in the racially polarized neighborhood of Crown Heights erupt into riots after a Black child was killed by a car in the Chabad-Lubavitcher Rebbes motorcade and a white Jewish scholar was slain in retaliation. Anna Deavere Smiths groundbreaking documentary play uses verbatim testimony from individuals throughout the diverse community, creating a nuanced portrait of a shared but divided geography. This theatrical event performed over 30 years after these life-changing riots promises a tour-de-force solo performance and a story which touches upon every American regardless of race, color, or beliefs.
