Play Title:Breaking Barriers: The Little Rock Nine
Runtime:31-60 minutes
Synopsis:BREAKING BARRIERS: THE LITTLE ROCK NINE
by Nicole C. Kearney

Breaking Barriers: The Little Rock Nine, the next ‘Movement Play’, will have its World Premiere at Karamu House, in February 2006. Based on the Little Rock Nine, this play will be told from the perspective of the nine students who integrated Central High School, in Little Rock, Arkansas, in September, 1957, amid much violence, hatred and protest. Join the “nine”, their parents, and their protector, Ms. Daisy Bates as they meet after they are chosen. How the “nine” bond over the common desire to want a better education, while not fully realizing the impact it would have. Be present as the “nine” devise strategies on how to get into school on the first day, and the fate that befell one of the nine who didn’t get the last minute change of meeting place. When she arrived at school and boldly walked to the doors of the school, only to denied entrance. Then facing an angry mob of white people, was unsure if she could make her way to safety.

Then hear from the white students, their parents and others in Little Rock as they voice their agreement and descent as the world watched the “drama” unfold for those nine young Black students who just wanted to get an education at Central High School.
