Act II One Hundred Years of Hope

Act II One Hundred Years of Hope

Presented by School of Theatre at Florida State at Augusta Conradi Studio Theatre

Florida State University’s School of Theatre invites you to the Act II production of One Hundred Years of Hope.

Conceived and written by FSU doctoral students, Devair Jeffries and Deborah Kochman, One Hundred Years of Hope is a collaborative production that explores how race was viewed during the tumultuous Civil Rights era, how it is viewed in the current allegedly post racial era, and how people hope it will be viewed in 2065.

The show conveys the experiences and beliefs of people, Black and White, who were young adults during 1965 and compares them with those of young adults in 2015 encountering related issues. In order to create a manageable script, Deb and Devair combined historical and contemporary research about civil rights action with the result of community interviews from multi-generational perspectives. Their goal was (and is) to put people into "conversation" who might not otherwise find a way to engage in meaningful discourse about difficult topics, particularly racial violence.
