DAY OF ABSENCE written by DOUGLAS TURNER directed by NATHAN A. LILLY ARENA THEATRE A Reimagined Classic. A one-act satire about an imaginary Southern town where all the black people have suddenly disappeared. The only ones left are sick and lying in hospital beds, refusing to get well. The Mayor sends a national plea for the blacks, “wherever they are,” to come back. In the end the blacks begin to reappear, as mysteriously as they had vanished, and the white community, sobered by what has transpired, breathes a sigh of relief at the return of the rather uneasy status quo. Social Justice Series. Performed as a "reverse minstrel show", actors are wearing whiteface to add additional texture to the plot. Tickets: Adult $40 Senior (62 +) $35 Student (under 25 with ID) $20 Group Pricing: 25 or more = $30 per ticket student group rates available Contact Group Sales:(216) 795-7077
