Dear, Friends:

 

In the entire history of The Black Rep, season 42 might be our most powerful and poignant ever.

 

The Edison Series at Washington University brings us “Crowns,” “Marie and Rosetta,” “Nina Simone: Four Women,” and the world premiere of “Canfield Drive.” At first glance, these plays might strike you as disparate and wholly unique from one another. But look deeper and you’ll see the threads that weave them together. In each, a character — and the audience — is invited to rethink their preconceptions and broaden their perspectives.
