Can I Get a Witness is a multidisciplinary theatrical work inspired by James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time and the following Baldwin quote: "From my point of view, no label, no slogan, no party, no skin color, and indeed no religion is more important than the human being.”
Theatrically structured as an African-American church service, the work features sermons and original musical compositions that challenges audiences to engage in critical investigations on race, religion, sexual orientation, America and the status quo, while celebrating Baldwin’s ideas through music and visual imagery.
