From 1776 to today, our nation’s citizens have asked what it is that truly makes someone an American. Is it our shared history? A commitment to American ideals? A belief in the American Dream? Today, our national identity is more fluid than ever. This world premiere comedy looks at our changing national identity and explores what it means — and has meant — to be an American through history.
“Blackbird,” written by Scottish playwright David Harrower and directed by Alex Oleksij, will be performed March 2 at 8 p.m., and March 3, at 2 p.m., in Wachovia Theatre.
Inspired in part by the crimes of sex offender Toby Studebaker, the award-winning play depicts a young woman meeting a middle-aged man 15 years after being sexually abused by him when she was 12. The Albright showing offers special guest performances by Albright alumna Gina Sarno ’11 and Nick Pascarella.
