The New Black Fest’s Hands Up: 7 Playwrights, 7 Testaments
October 14 – October 18, 2020
Written by Nathan James, Nathan Yungerberg, Idris Goodwin, Nambi E. Kelley, Nsangou Njikam, Eric Micha Holmes, Dennis A. Allen II
Directed by Luther D. Wells
In response to the 2014 fatal shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri by a white police officer, The New Black Fest commissioned seven emerging Black playwrights to explore the institutional profiling and stereotyping of African Americans. The protest drama that materialized consist of a series of monologues that recount the experience of real and imagined people who seek to reclaim voices silenced and violated by a system that historically sees BLACK as sub-human. In light of the national movement for justice and equity, Hands up is not just HISTORY— it’s TRUTH…it’s NOW!
The Collection Includes:
Superiority Fantasy by Nathan James
Holes in My Identity by Nathan Yungerberg
They Shootin! Or I Ain’t Neva Scared… by Idris Goodwin
Dead of Night… The Execution of… by Nambi E. Kelley
Abortion by Nsangou Njikam
Walking Next to Michael Brown by Eric Holmes
