Tanya Barfields "Blue Door," a play with original songs, is about a highly educated and successful Black man who descended from victims of slavery, Jim Crow, and lynching. In one sleepless night, visits from the mans deceased brother, grandfather, and great grandfather force him to relive his familys history from 1850 to 1995 and to come to terms with his identity and the effect of the past on the present. In Blue Door, according to Variety, demons are faced with humor and incisive metaphors. The Seattle Times called the play razor-sharp, funny and poignant . . . alternately ironic and touching.
