Lights! Camera! Soul! Presents Daniel Beaty’s EMERGENCY

April 2, 2016

lights-camera-soul-lcs-performing-arts-logoMilwaukee Performing Arts company, Lights! Camera! Soul! cordially invites members of all age groups and interests to join them for award-wining playwright Daniel Beaty’s EMERGENCY. A production with vivid poetry and laughter, but will also touch the tough subjects of race, poverty, homosexuality and more; all for the purpose of building community, fostering healing, and working towards discovery.

The play details the story of a slave ship that emerges in front of the Statue of Liberty in New York City, and sends a community into a massive whirlwind of emotion and exploration through vivid poetry and dynamic storytelling of each characters’ individual response to this surreal happening and their varied testimonies on identity and personal freedom. Emergency weaves a stirring commentary on what it is to be human and the longing to be free.
