Columbus, OH (BlackNews.com) -
The staged production What Color Is Trouble?, written by Ron Pitts and
Dr. Raymond Wise of Columbus, Ohio weaves a story of contemporary problems -
gangs, addiction, racism and violence as well as the discovery that we can make
a choice to prevail while discovering hope, self-identity, forgiveness, trust
and responsibility.
This riveting look at how violence creates turmoil and its negative impact on
communities of all cultures has been proven to be a moving experience while it
offers resolve and solutions in each story. In 1994, high school students
gathered from across the city of Columbus, Ohio's East High School where What
Color Is Trouble? impacted the youth. Just this year, the production opened
to a sold out house at the King Arts Complex.
This awesome play, What Color Is Trouble? encourages the audience to
never loose hope. Ujima Theatre is full of compassion for those affected by
Katrina.
"We have cast members that have families who have suffered a loss due to this
devastating hurricane. Even though we are in Ohio, we too feel the loss from
Katrina. We were all affected by the continued violence that continued in the
midst of such a national tragedy. We would love to bring this play to your city
for those victims of violence such as the Katrina evacuees, who are suffering
and need encouragement," says Pitts.
He continues, "As you consider bringing What Color Is Trouble? to your
city, the only thing we would ask of you is to cover our travel, performance
space and lodging expenses. Ujima Theatre will cover all other expenses such as
payment to our cast and staff and any other costs that we incur in bringing this
production to you. We are especially interested in bringing a positive message
to all those suffering from recent natural disasters. This is the least we can
do to give back to our communities."
