Day of Absence
Written by: Douglas T Ward
Directed by: Quentin Talley
A Day of Absence was sponsored by a
Front Porch Grant from the Community Building Initiative, opened in
conjunction with Willie Little's award winning exhibit, In Mixed
Company, which focuses on stereotypes maintained by both races.
The play is apart of the Community Building Initiatives goal to
build positive relationships across racial lines. There were talk
backs following each performance that focused on how social equity
and racial trust affect the individual and the community. The
conversations were facilitated by Talley and included notable
panelist such as Latoya Jamison, Journalist – Charlotte Observer,
Mack Staten – English Professor, Johnson C. Smith University;
Patrick Graham-CEO, Urban League and a wealth of other community
leaders.
