A play about racism and redemption by Don DiVecchio

Thanks to our fabulous cast and creative team who helped make our very first reading of Crackerman an amazing event. Don wrote this play in 2014 and revised it in 2022 for his recently published collection of plays – Six Plays on the theme of Men Behaving Badly. Because this play seemed more relevant now in 2023, we presented it as a staged reading, April 30th at the Cambridge Public Library. The event was co-sponsored by Cambridge Community Center for the Arts and Artists Theater of Boston, and co-directed by Don DiVecchio and Anneke Reich.

In this play, Noreen, an African American nurse, encounters Fred, an ex-Klansman, at a rehab center in Selma, Alabama. Sparks fly, secrets are revealed, and members of their families prevail on Fred to do one good deed.
