On the tenth anniversary of the Los Angeles riots, Company One is proud to present a multi-racial collaborative production of Anna Deavere Smith's groundbreaking experiment in "documentary-theatre," Twilight Los Angeles, 1992. Called "dazzling" by Time Magazine, Twilight passionately gives voice to the outrage, sorrow, and confusion that erupted into violence in L.A. following the announcement of the Rodney King verdict. In the aftermath, Smith traveled from South-Central L.A. to Beverly Hills gathering in-depth interviews and heartfelt testimonies. Join Company One's diverse ensemble as it brings new depth to the devastating details that Smith captured while digging below the headlines to find the "humanness" inside this national crisis.
