Two interlocking
plays by two accomplished screenwriters:
BLACK LIVES
by Emmy-nominated
writer Steve Harper
BLUE LIVES
by Bill Mesce, Jr
adapted from Adam
Plantinga's book,
400 Things Cops
Know:
Street-Smart Lessons
from a Veteran Patrolman
The audience conversations that follow the two monologues
are facilitated by retired Theater Project Executive Producer Daaimah
Talley, and Dr. Sara Compion, director of the Center for
Interdisciplinary Studies at Kean University.
“There is power in courageously open and respectful
dialogue,” says Dr. Compion. “It builds social trust and harmony
amongst divided groups. The Black Lives/Blue Lives production
offers a venue for this kind of important conversation.”
