KU distinguished scholar/playwright of African and African American Studies Dr. Peter Ukpokodu will write and produce "The Search for Anno Domini MMXXI-I-VI," in partnership with KC Melting Pot Theater. This timely play explores racial inequity in America bookended by the aftermath of Covid-19 and the current political climate where civil rights for many Americans have been challenged and undermined. The play places different racial groups in the United States on the same platform, face-to-face, to engage in dialogue. Serious topics are laced with humor and presented in the call and response style of theatre. This approach creates a slight distance between the audience and unfolding events so they can see the strangeness of certain actions and discuss meanings and messages. Audiences will engage in talk backs in select performances to engage in conversation about racial equity issues and seek solutions in partnership with the playwright, director, actors, and fellow viewers.
Just Off Broadway Theatre is at 3051 Central in Penn Valley Park, Kansas City, MO.
