Play the Spotlight Theatre
By: Apphia Campbell and Meredith Yarbrough

From the creator of the hit show 'Black Is the Color of My Voice', comes a new story about the 20th-century African-American experience. Set to original music and traditional gospel and blues; TWO women, 42 years apart become involved in the struggle for civil rights. One, a notorious Black Panther; the other, a present day university student. Both challenge the American Justice system, become criminalized through political activism; and ultimately are faced with a choice to stay and fight or to flee.
