Facing Our Truth
ABOUT
In light of the George Zimmerman verdict, The New Black Fest commissioned six very diverse playwrights to write 10-minute plays on the topic of Trayvon Martin, race and/or privilege. Facing Our Truth's purpose is to incite serious discussion in our collective communities around these urgent issues.
Winter contributed Colored, a 10-minute play in which interactions between passengers on a subway ride escalate dangerously.
