🎭 #ArtIsAWeapon "Fires in the Mirror" Conceived, Written, and Originally Performed by Anna Deavere Smith @annadeaveresmith Directed by Saheem Ali Performed by Michael Benjamin Washington Now extended through December 15 at the @signaturetheatre Tickets start at $35 "There are three sides to every story: yours, mine and the truth. Following the deaths of a Black American boy and a young Orthodox Jewish scholar in the summer of 1991, underlying racial tensions in the nestled community of Crown Heights, Brooklyn erupted into civil outbreak. Fires in the Mirror was Anna Deavere Smith’s groundbreaking response. Birthed from a series of interviews with over fifty members of the Jewish and Black communities, the Drama Desk award-winning work translated their voices verbatim, and in the process revolutionized the genre of documentary theatre. As much provocation as it is exploration, this landmark play launches Anna Deavere Smith’s Residency 1 at Signature.  To purchase tickets: - www.signaturetheatre.org - Call 212.244.7529. - Visit Signature Theatre Box Office | The Pershing Square Signature Center 480 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036  Special Event: On Wednesday, October 30, 2019 at 6:30 pm Signature Theatre will host Spotlight on Anna Deavere Smith and Saheem Ali.
