Durban, South Africa---Should we be quoting 17th Century King Jan III, as we American's are pressed to vote our moral convictions.  We are in "Grace of God" Territory as we consider our duty to vote for the best candidate to lead America and so will go the world.   As King Jan III said, "We came, We Saw, God Conquered."  

Let us hope  that God will intervene in our affairs and not leave us to ourselves as we know from Judges that could be a sad state of affairs.  Get out and Vote and Encourage Your Neighbors!

Every 28 Hours is a series of one-minute plays written by 90 contributing artists from across the nation who focus on the widely shared and contested statistic that every twenty­-eighthours a black person in the United States is killed by a vigilante, security guard, or the police.
 
Inspired by Black Lives Matter, this national project was co-created and first produced by Dominic D'Andrea of the One Minute Play Festival and Claudia Alick of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival after the killing of Michael Brown, a young African American, by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri in August 2014.
 
The Bay Area production of Every 28 Hours opens Friday, October 21st at PianoFight, 144 Taylor Street in San Francisco, for a four-week run October 21-November 12. 
 
The local project was spearheaded by FaultLine Theater which formed a collaboration with A.C.T., Berkeley Rep, Campo Santo, Crowded Fire Theater and Lorraine Hansberry Theatre to mount the production in the Bay Area.

Directors include:
Lorraine Hansberry Theatre's Artistic Director, Steven Anthony Jones,  
Donald Lacy, Luna Malbroux, Mina Morita and Tyrone Davis. 

Each event is followed by facilitated discussions led by local activists and artists about this critical Civil Rights moment in America.
