Schools!
"SCHOOLS! ...is an intelligent and humorous
look at an African American family's 1962 attempt to integrate a nearby
Kansas City white elementary school. SCHOOLS! is an autobiographical-flavored
story told from perspective of a bewildered and sensitive 12 year-old.
St. Louis is a gifted storyteller, and the show...is an engaging human
story of her educated middle-class family's fight with the American
system of apartheid. Throughout the performance, St. Louis adeptly moves
in and out of numerous characters...SCHOOLS! isn't preachy or
didactic...[I]t's a well-moving historical look at one family's struggle,
pain and dignity during America's very violent period of integration,
performed by a powerhouse actress, artist and writer." SCHOOLS! was originally directed by Sharon Walton. Lee Strawn was the vocal coach. |
