“A play that speaks to Ferguson’s tragedy and lets the audience speak
back.” *PBS News Hour*

Seeking a way forward after the 2014 police killing of Michael Brown,
leaders in Ferguson, MO, called on Brooklyn-based Theater of War, which
addresses community traumas through staged readings—by some of today’s most
sought-after actors—of ancient texts. Together they created *Antigone in
Ferguson*: Sophocles’ 2,500-year-old tragedy about a clash between personal
convictions and state law, punctuated by soul-searching gospel songs by
Ferguson singers (joined here by members of the Dartmouth College Gospel
Choir). Afterwards, cast and audience engage in an honest, open discussion
of how the play pertains to our own communities and where to go from here.
Guest respondents for these discussions include racial justice activists,
students, and members of law enforcement from New Hampshire and
Vermont. *Saturday’s
performance will be American Sign Language interpreted.*
