One-Man Show “Black Book”

February 17, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

A special engagement of Austin Dean Ashford’s award-winning one-man show “Black Book” Friday, February 17 at 7:30 pm at the Studio Theatre in the François Fine Arts Building on the Sul Ross Alpine campus.
Admission is free. Seating is limited. To make reservations, visit www.bit.ly/sulross-theatre

Welcome to Melvin Tolson High School—it’s summer school, it’s hot, the barbed wire fence is fixed, and a young African American boy has been shot, leaving his group of friends reeling from the loss and wondering if their voices will ever be heard. Enter a former Great Debater to teach a master class on public speaking and challenge this group of boys to speak out and give voice to their hopes and fears.

Filled with pressing issues, inspiring characters, and comedy, “Black Book” debates what happens to young minds when our educational spaces begin to resemble a prison more than school and a place to learn and grow.
