Celebration Arts Live: Polar Bears, Black Boys, and Prairie Fringed Orchids

A liberal white couple opens the doors of their renovated Harlem brownstone to host a cocktail party for a Black Lives Matter activist, his plus one, a black woman bookstore owner, and a grieving mother whose young son was slain by police. The evening of cocktails and conversation sparks emotional debates on a range of subjects including racial identity and protecting the lives of black boys. The snappy, witty dialogue and the humor carry messages about racism, privilege and police brutality.

The production features the acting talents of Kelley Ogden, Tory Scroggins, Greg Hanson, Brooklynn Solomon, Matt Fairall and Carla Fleming.
