What: This February and March, The Union for Contemporary Art in partnership with UNO Theatre presents Blood at the Root, for a run of four shows at the University of Nebraska – Omaha, followed by six shows at The Union.

Based on true events, Blood at the Root, by Dominique Morisseau, recounts the story of the Jena Six—a group of Black students who were initially charged with attempted murder for a school fight after being provoked with nooses hanging from a tree on campus. Join us for a theatrical conversation about justice, racial double standards, and a crisis in relations between men and women of all classes.

Where: The Union for Contemporary Arts
