Black Sheep Synopsis
Black Sheep re-imagines the “black experience” through the perspective of a host of characters from cops, to drag queens, to Afro-punk teenagers as they battle the “community” they supposedly come from while fighting their own isolation in search of an identity that lives outside the box of tribalism. Both humorous and thought provoking, Black Sheep invites the audience to expand their perception by glimpsing into the lives of the minorities amongst the minorities. A theatrical exploration on those who despite their skin don’t fit in with their own kin.
