July 14, 2019

Sound Theatre Company, with their season theme of "Un-Erasable" focusing on diversity and "hyper invisibility" of some in America, have started off their season with a stunning piece, "Citizen: An American Lyric" based on the poetry of Claudia Rankine and adapted for the stage by Stephen Sachs. But beyond keying in perfectly to their theme and kicking off the season with a bang, they've coincidentally presented a piece that has tremendous resonance to what's happening in the news today, with the incidents between Serena Williams and Billie Jean King as well as Hurricane Barry in New Orleans giving an all too harrowing reminder of the events of Hurricane Katrina.

"I am drawn to this play because I believe in doing the kind of work that seeps into the psyche and uproots the ignorance that festers there. I am interested in the root of things - and once I get there, I gut the soil of as many poisoned seeds as possible. I have a cast of fiercely brave artists who are ready to irritate and castigate as we navigate Claudia Rankine's words together." - CITIZEN director Jay O'Leary
