Don't Call Me Brother (Staged Reading)

Another black youth has been killed by a police officer under questionable circumstances. Recently promoted Andrew Merritt’s first task as Chief of the Community Liaison Department is to restore his former community’s confidence in the police department while at the same time trying to maintain the respect of his family and his fellow police officers. His loyalty is in question from both sides. Is this new job a step up…or a set up?

This is a dramatized stage reading followed by a panel discussion with community members.
