Teddy, a young African American, was stopped late at night by the police less than a block from his Arlington, Va., home. Without provocation, the policeman brutally beat and arrested him, charging him with assault and battery. The Kennedys interweave his trial with the mother's poignant letters in his defense and her remembrances of growing up in the 1940s, when her parents sought "to make Cleveland a better place for Negroes." This autobiographical drama was first performed at the New York Shakespeare Festival in 1996.
This production will feature digital design animation, and
is co-produced with the Advanced
Computing Center for Art and Design (ACCAD).
