“It’s a family story first. It’s a human story.'
“It’s a family story first. It’s a human story,” opera singer Ariana Wehr said.For instance, there’s a scene in which the father — a police officer — pleads with his Black son to be careful: “You’re a Black boy! A walking moving target,” he sings to the teenager as he implores his son to take off his hoodie and jewelry.
For members of the diverse cast, Wehr says: “There’s an emotional cost, I think, to all of us telling this story. For myself, personally, in working on it, I had a lot of anger and pain about the extrajudicial murders of Black people at the hands of people in this country and around the world.”“I think I feel an added sense of responsibility for just getting it right, doing justice to this piece,” cast member Korland Simmons said.
