SEATTLE — Seattle Repertory Theatre presents Kimber Lee's heart-felt drama “brownsville song (b-side for tray),” that runs through April 24 in Leo K. Theatre at Seattle Center.
Tray is Tramaine Berry Thompson, and, as he says, “I am more than meets the eye.”
The story is based on the life and legacy of a real young man who died in a senseless act of gang violence. The play shifts between the past and the present, and examines the impact of such deaths on a close-knit family and their community.
Critics have praised the play for being part of the national conversation on urban communities experiencing trauma. It premiered at Humana Festival of New American Plays in 2014, and had an off-Broadway run at Lincoln Center.
Tickets are available at (206) 443-2222 and online at seattlerep.org.
