Theory of a Deadman & Skillet: Rock Resurrection Tour

Kentwood Players presents a reading of Polar Bears, Black Boys and Prairie Fringed Orchids, a play about the social complexities of our times written by Vincent Terrell Durham. The evening begins with a fabulous, homemade dessert reception at 6:00pm, followed by the reading at 7:00pm, with a talkback afterwards.
A liberal white couple host a cocktail party at their renovated Harlem brownstone. The guests include a Black Lives Matter activist, his white partner, a Harlem native named Shemeka, and the mother of a slain 12-year-old black boy. As the precarious party devolves into a tempest of assumptions and accusations, topics range from underweight polar bears, saving the planet, and gentrification, to racial identity and protecting the lives of black boys.

This play contains profanity; recommended for ages 13+.
