The Guthrie and Emigrant Theater are offering 50% off tickets for any remaining performance of Blue Door by Tanya Barfield, now playing at the Dowling Studio at the Guthrie.
Don't miss what the Pioneer Press called "a powerful way to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day... vivid... effective... thought-provoking... None of us will ever gain freedom until we recognize what binds us, because only then can we begin to loosen the chains."
The Star-Tribune calls playwright Tanya Barfield "an exciting new voice in American theater, and Blue Door amply displays her stunning grasp of language and solidly crafted characterization, as well as her unwillingness to settle for easy answers. Emigrant Theater and the Guthrie are to be commended for offering such a fine opportunity to experience her work."
Emigrant Theater was named Best Independent Theater of 2007 by City Pages.
Blue Door
by Tanya Barfield
directed by Jessica Finney
featuring Eric Avery & David Wiles
Left alone by his wife after refusing to join the Million Man March, an African-American math professor watches as the ghosts of his ancestors arrive and shatter the silence of his insomnia, drawing him into a spiral of history, a crisis of identity and culture, and a powerful exploration of what it means to be black, then and now.
