Black & Bluestein

 by Jerry Mayer
directed by Deborah Harmon

 

You’ll laugh… You’ll cry…You’ll think. Extended! The return production of Jerry Mayer’s engaging dramedy, set in 1963 St. Louis and based on a true event, explores the ripple effect in the neighborhood when a well-to-do black scientist Dan Black, wants to buy a home in an upscale, all-white mostly Jewish neighborhood from the Jewish builder, Jeff Bluestein. Bluestein always tried to be a good liberal but breaking the color barrier could break his bank account and even his marriage. Tension, conflict, prejudice, fear of plunging home values, and Jewish guilt add up to gripping drama and laugh-out- loud comedy.

“Recommended”- LA Times “Invigorating, engaging, valid.”
“A surprisingly nuanced and personal play.” – L.A. Weekly
“The recent changes on the political landscape give the piece an added punch
and relevance” –BackStage West
