On May 31, 1921 in Tulsa, Oklahoma audiences gathered at Dreamland Theatre to watch a screening of "The Green-Eyed Monster" when the show is interrupted with news of the impending lynching of a Black man.
I’m embarrassed to say how little I was taught about history in my educational life growing up. I only learned about the Tulsa race massacre a few years ago. So if a Fringe show like Black Wall Street: Dreamland Theatre is touching on that piece of history, hard as it may be to watch, I’m putting it on the list. I also recognize the name of one of the actors in the ensemble, Charla Marie Bailey, which signals to me the audience will be in good hands.
