All American Boys

Visiting Curator of Performing Arts Helga Davis continues her season of exciting programming with a table read of Off the Page Education’s adaptation of All American Boys, the story of the violent arrest of a black teenager, and the white teenager who witnesses the crime. The evening features a cast of youth and professional actors, as well as Brendan Kiely, co-author of the book from which the play is adapted.

Join us as our protagonist Rashad recuperates in the hospital and finds himself the center of attention he doesn’t want. As he decides if he’s ready to be the symbol people want him to be, Quinn, the witness, wishes he could just walk away. Their struggle shines a light on all of us who grapple with what it means to take responsibility and how or if to take action.

All are invited to a post-show discussion moderated by Helga Davis, which will include Brendan Kiely and directors Jody Drezner Alperin and Vicky Finney.

Tickets include Museum admission. Adults $15, seniors $12, students $10, free for members and children 17 and under.
