This original one-woman play has been updated this year!
The play dramatizes Melba Pattillo Beals's searing memoir of the battle to integrate Little Rock's Central High, through the lens of a contemporary young activist who questions: "What does a warrior look like? What is worth fighting for? Can a young person change the world?" Employing sophisticated video technology, original music, spoken word, poetry and prose, the show will be a catalyst for deeper discussion about social responsibility, civil discourse, social media, community engagement and freedom. Warriors Don't Cry is a collaboration between The Bushnell, CT Repertory Theatre, UConn's Department of Digital Media and Design, and TheaterWorksUSA. |
