Scoundrel and Scamp Theatre presents Citizen: An American Lyric

 

Citizen: An American Lyric

May 13th through May 29th, 2022

By Claudia Rankine
Adapted by Stephen Sachs

Winner of the 2015 National Book Award.

 

Recommended for Scoundrels ages 15+.

Presented in partnership with the University of Arizona Poetry Center.

This powerful and fast-moving stage adaptation fuses theatre, music, movement, and video imagery. These are snapshots, vignettes, a meditation on the acts of everyday racism. This play speaks to those remarks, glances, seeming slips of the tongue — those “did-that-really-just-happen-did-they-really-just say-that slurs” that happen every day — all this, and the larger incidents that become national firestorms. 

As Rankine writes, “This is how you are a citizen.” 

For Scoundrels 15+.
