Gitana in the News:

Here is what people are saying about Black and Blue!

Gitana Production's "Black and Blue" is a thought provoking, well-acted and strongly worded play that stirs discussion in an attempt to create a fuller, more varied and nuanced understanding of racial conflict, not only in St. Louis but across America. The impact and message of the show is enhanced by the presence of rap artist and spoken word performer Dyce. The songs and verses he adds to the production are inspiring, filled with energy and convincing, politically charged rhymes that reach across color, age and gender barriers and embrace the reality we face with a sense of purpose and hope.

The resulting show, buoyed by genuine, committed performances from the ensemble cast, is both emotionally and intellectually effective storytelling. Though the characters are representations, they are an accumulation of the stories and reports surrounding the events in Ferguson, MO.
