Dutchman
A collaboration between Bricolage and the August Wilson Center for African American Culture
Dutchman by LeRoi Jones
Directed by Mark Clayton Southers
Starring Tami Dixon* and Jonathan Berry
This incendiary Obie-award winning play strips away the veneer of peaceful coexistence to expose the dark underbelly of the city where the choices are simple: conform, kill, or be killed. When a white seductress encounters a young black poet on a subway train, idle banter gives way to twisted aggression, and atrocities occur while everybody is looking.
Following each performance:
Between the Lines: Conversations about Race Relations in Pittsburgh
Dutchman is only an hour long, but it explores some timely and provocative issues. In the spirit of community engagement, we're putting together a variety of themed post-show conversations with activists, artists, and community leaders in the fight toward racial equality in Pittsburgh.
