Brévo Theatre presents a powerful series of staged readings by award-winning playwright Bryan Keyth Wilson, spotlighting urgent stories that interrogate race, power, memory, and survival in America. Featuring The Otha Amerikkka, 8:46, and FAFO, this reading series offers audiences an intimate first look at works in development that confront systemic injustice, generational trauma, and the lived realities of Black communities.
The Otha Amerikkka
“tha other ameriKKKa” is a choreopoem inspired by Martin Luther King Jr’s powerful lecture On April 14, 1967 at Stanford University. This choreopoem is a contemporary analysis of the duality and reality that plague America. Why is there this other America for the marginalized and people with skin colors other than white? Through a blend of poetry, prose, music, and movement, the piece challenges perceptions and sparks dialogue on the complexities of the American experience.
8:46
8:46 delves into the collective and individual experiences of those whose lives were irrevocably altered on that fateful morning. The play weaves together testimonies, memories, and poetic expressions, creating a tapestry of voices that reflect the complex realities of race, privilege, and trauma in the aftermath of 9/11. The title, 8:46, serves as a poignant reminder of the exact time the first plane struck, marking the beginning of an event that changed the world forever and left deep scars on those whose stories are seldom told.
F*** Around And Find Out
A raw, unapologetic breakdown of who showed up, who stayed home, and how the choices we make at the ballot box shape the world we live in. Told through powerful vignettes, FAAFO blends investigative theatre with intimate character studies, using real statistics and lived experiences to dissect the racial and gender divides in voting—because democracy isn’t just a right, it’s a reckoning. In this bold theatrical experiment, two actors—one Black man and one Black woman—embody a kaleidoscope of voices, slipping seamlessly between personas to reveal the personal stakes behind the percentages. From impassioned testimonies to stark moments of reckoning, FAAFO forces us to confront the numbers not as abstract data, but as human stories—messy, complicated, and impossible to ignore.
