Join us for a live staged reading of Calvin Alexander Ramsey’s award-winning play, The Green Book. Ramsey’s work bringing the Green Book back into public consciousness through this play and the children’s book “Ruth and the Green Book” inspired the Academy Award-winning film. 

Directed by David Y. Chack, The Green Book centers on an African American family who opens their home to Black travelers throughout the United States. Unexpectedly, a Jewish Holocaust survivor arrives, unveiling the commonalities of Jewish and Black experiences.
