The Guthrie presents
the Emigrant Theater production of
Blue Door
by Tanya Barfield
directed by Jessica Finney
Left alone by his wife after refusing to join the Million Man March, an African American math professor watches as the ghosts of his ancestors arrive and shatter the silence of his insomnia, drawing him into a spiral of history, a crisis of identity and culture, and a powerful exploration of what it means to be black, then and now.
This production contains strong language.
