Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to protect the health and well-being of our students, staff and the public, the American River College Campus has been closed, classes have moved online, and public events are cancelled.  At this point we are planning on rehearsing and presenting our productions online.  Please check back through the semester.  We will post information when we know it.  

Thanks for your support.



 

American River College theatre is holding auditions for "Fires in the Mirror" by Anna Deveare Smith from 6pm to 9pm on Mon. 24 and Tue. 25, 2020. 

Synopsis

In August 1991 simmering tensions in the racially polarized Brooklyn, New York, neighborhood of Crown Heights exploded into riots after a Black boy was killed by a car in a rabbi's motorcade and a Jewish student was slain by Blacks in retaliation. "Fires in the Mirror" is dramatist Anna Deveare Smith's stunning exploration of the events and emotions leading up to and following the Crown Heights conflict.
