An audio drama series with soundscapes and minimal visuals that dramatize how Black History isn’t an event, It’s a legacy. Each premiere is accompanied by a scholar-led conversation illuminating the themes of each play. All events will be streamed with a live talkback following the show. Phylicia Rashad also returns to direct our last premiere, "Second Sight"!

The Reverberation Series is made possible by grants from The Black Seed as well as Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone and Creative Communities, made possible by NY Dept. of Cultural Affairs, New York State Council on the Arts and distributed by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

Summary: The search for self-definition is passed on through four brothers as they struggle with the Jim Crow legacy of their father. Deep wounds left on his psyche are passed onto a generation of sons. Told with humor and pathos by one of those sons, this true story puts human faces on the fallout of America's original sin.

Conversation: The Legacies of Jim Crow and Black Family Dynamics with Dr. Mikal Rasheed, Author of “Family Therapy with Ethnic Minorities”. Moderated by Judy Tate
