Citizen: An American Lyric

By Claudia Rankine
Adapted by Stephen Sachs

This powerful and fast-moving stage adaptation fuses theatre, music, movement, and video imagery. These are snapshots, vignettes, a meditation on the acts of everyday racism. This play speaks to those remarks, glances, seeming slips of the tongue — those “did-that-really-just-happen-did-they-really-just say-that slurs” that happen every day — all this, and the larger incidents that become national firestorms. 

As Rankine writes, “This is how you are a citizen.” 

For Scoundrels 15+.
