In light of the George Zimmerman verdict, The New Black Fest
commissioned six very diverse playwrights to write 10-minute plays
on the topic of Trayvon Martin, race and/or privilege. Facing Our
Truth's purpose is to incite serious discussion in our collective
communities around these urgent issues.The collection, Facing Our
Truth: Ten Minute Plays on Trayvon, Race and Privilege is comprised
of the following plays: THE BALLAD OF GEORGE ZIMMERMAN text by Dan
O'Brien music by Qu
Between his opening greeting and the bookend closing page on which
he stalks away after taking no questions, Gato wants to make one
thing perfectly clear: Although he has four legs, two ears, and a
long, long tail, the word "cat" does not define him. His identity
is his alone to describe and determine. With the help of Danica
Novgorodoff's laugh-out-loud illustrations, he takes us on a tour
of his adventures, accomplishments, and daily activities that makes
mincemeat of our first impressions. He wears a sweater and a leash,
so is he a dog? He runs in pastures, so is he a horse? He likes
flowers, so is he a bee? He swims, so is he a duck? He has flown in
airplanes and ridden in subways, so is he a person? Maybe he's all
those things, but what he truly is, he wants us to know, is Gato.
To underline the story's message of empowerment and self-identity,
the back cover and backmatter include photos of the real Gato
(Winter Miller's cat) doing everything he claims and more. Signs on
walls, headlines in newspapers, New Yorker cartoon homages, and
sight gags on every page reward repeated readings and will make
this book the first one that parents reach for at bedtime.
