About the Play
Inside the life of gang members as seen through their eyes as well as the eyes of parents, outreach workers, law enforcement officials, politicians, news representatives and others. The play involves unique approaches to the resolution of the "gang problem," and suggests that the resolution may well be community-wide. Original rap sound track by local musicians.
