Donald E. Lacy Jr.’s one-man show, “ColorStruck,” begins as a comedic autobiography of an outsider: a sensitive, light-skinned African American man growing up in Oakland during the height of the Black Pride movement.
It morphs into an interactive experience for all races that dissects color-consciousness and the assumptions that underlie institutional racism.
Mr. Lacy is a prominent Bay Area-based actor, standup comic, broadcaster, activist, and playwright. He founded the LoveLife Foundation (www.lovelifefoundation.org) in 1997 as a tribute to his slain 16 year-old daughter, a victim of random urban gun violence.
