About this event

Cris Eli Blak's new play — winner of the 2025 Fade To Black Arts Festival — follows Gordon Brown as the first Black teacher at an all-white high school in 1967 Texas, confronting racism from students and faculty. 90 minutes, no intermission. Directed by Alric Davis.

Why we picked it

Third installment of Shabach's Vanguard Series — Houston's most reliable pipeline for new Black playwrights — and the material lands squarely in Texas school-history conversations happening right now.
