    Arts Academy of Sedona Hosts Emerson Theater Collaborative Production of A House With No Walls

    Sedona News – Producer Camilla Ross has announced that from February 3-5, the Emerson Theater Collaborative (in the Collective Sedona, Village of Oak Creek) will present three performances of the historical drama A House With No Walls by award-winning playwright Thomas Gibbons. Directed by Ashley Adelman (who recently directed the ETC production of The Great Gatsby, A Radio Play) and presented through special arrangement by Playscripts (and with generous grants from Arizona Community Foundation, the Arizona Commission on the Arts, the City of Sedona, and sponsors Sedona Monthly and No Moss Brands), A House With No Walls explores our relationship with troubling historical reality.

    In this play, a bitter public battle erupts when it is revealed that the site of a new museum enshrining American liberty is the ground on which George Washington’s slaves’ house once stood. An African-American political activist occupies the site, demanding that the house be recreated as a reminder of the reality of slavery in our history and a memorial to the slaves’ lives. He is opposed by a controversial African-American conservative author, who argues that blacks must lay aside their pursuit of victimhood if they are to achieve true equality. Their conflict is juxtaposed against the story of one of Washington’s slaves, as she struggles with the decision of whether to risk everything to escape her bondage. This is a story that asks: How do we decide which elements of our history will be commemorated and which will be forgotten?

    The cast of A House With No Walls includes: Ernest E. Pittman, Marie Davis, James Yaw, Erik Pratt, Esther Ayo Akinsanya, Edward Trey Peace and Jadar Ervin. Audiences are encouraged to stay at the theater for talk-backs after each performance.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
