The Brick and the New Theater Hollywood are pleased to present a staged reading of The America Play by Suzan-Lori Parks, directed by Ifa Bayeza and coinciding with MONUMENTS, an exhibition co-organized by The Brick and The Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles.
Centering on the Foundling Father, a Black Abraham Lincoln impersonator who digs “an exact replica of The Great Hole of History,” in which he re-lives Lincoln’s assassination over and over, Parks’ work considers the excavation and absences of historical narratives, mourning and memory, and reenactment.
